kepano (240) - Meudon, - JAN 8, 2005
UPDATED: OCT 8, 2005 Tasted in France - bottled. Pours a very opaque and pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pinneaple, apricots, chalk and dust. Smooth yet crisp and refreshing. The flavour is quite mild but it leaves a very distinct citrus aftertaste. Very enjoyable level of carbonation and nice lacing. Delightful to drink.

Frequently drink this on tap and bottled. This is one of my all time favourites, just a classic beer with an amazing identity and history to it! It is a light bodied, golden White Beer with a bready aroma and soft bready taste with hints of corriander... This is a really easy going drink a good introduction to craft, Belgian and of course white beer! A Must try!

Beautiful looking beer. A pale gold with a thin head across the top. Aroma of banana, bread, orange peel, and of course the distinctive Belgian yeast. Taste has a sweetness upfront of citrus and banana and a longer bready finish. Smooth throughout. A great beer that is easy to find as it is to drink.

GBZ59 (336) - BARCELONA (Catalonia), SPAIN - JUN 3, 2012
Botella de 330ml. Copa Globo. Saboreada una vez más. Color amarillo claro y pálido, apariencia velada. Espuma blanca, tupida y densa. Aromas de piel de naranja y limón. Entrada amarga con matices de limón agrio sobre una leve base malteada. Cuerpo ligero y carbonatación alta. Final aguado, cítrico. En conjunto bastante plana. 330ml bottle. Snifter glass. Enjoyed once again. Light pale yellow in color, foggy appearance. White, close & dense froth. Orange zest & lemon aromas. Bitter upfront, sour lemony hints. Slightly maltiness backbone. Light body, high carbonation. Watery, citric finish & aftertaste. Quite bland overall. (Nowadays available at most Supermarkets)

DeliriumT (139) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JUN 3, 2012
Pours a beautiful hazy pale golden colour with soft creamy lasting head. Smells like Belgian yeast, fresh bananas with a hint of orange peel and clove. Tastes like wheat, bread, sultanas and bananas. Delicious

Poured from a glass, Japan. Aroma of mild hops - floral, citrusy, with cereal. Pours a weak pale amber with a vibrant snow-white head. Heavy carbonation, but you don’t feel it as much as you see it. A mildly flavored beer that is refreshing but not watery. Fruity but now overpoweringly so, slightly sweet, minimally bitter.

Pours cloudy pale yellow, thick white head that hangs around for a while. At first I thought it smelled a little eggy, citrus, starchy. Tastes citrusy - orange peel in abundance, hints of coriander. Bit of sweetness to it. Smooth mouthfeel, very easy to drink. Oh, I was told in Amsterdam it’s pronounced more like Hohk-aarden.

berrya785 (126) - Kansas, USA - JUN 1, 2012
Aroma is yeast, grain, and citrus. Pours a cloudy pale straw color with a lot yeast floating around. Taste is wheat, yeast and citrus and a bit sour. Very good.

Very light pale yellow with white head with small bubbles. Yeast is dominant with slight grainy taste. It’s light and crisp.

Tart and fruity wheat beer, great! Perhaps the best witbier I have tasted. The color is cloudy pale yellow and frothy head is strong. Drink this ice-cold!

pale hazy yellow colour, slightly sour, spices, refreshing in summer but too watery for me,
