Available in the small bottle served in the appropriate glassware at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Pittsburgh, PA. Very light and bubbly, wheaty, with hints of lemon. Then my brother noted that it tastes like a lemon dropped into alka-seltzer. It ruined this beer for me. Otherwise, I might have liked it.

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.

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,

AROMA: Moderate coriander, light citrus APPEARANCE: very light golden, cloudy with medium white head, fairly dense but which quickly dissolved so that only a very low head remained. Some lacing TASTE: very mild sweetness with a bit of a citrusy zest. A bit bland. No hints of any sourness sometimes found in this category. PALATE: lively carbonation OVERALL: Quite bland compared to others in this category. Aroma entices but taste disappoints.

Pours a hazy very light yellow with long-lasting fluffy white head but no lacing. Aroma is full of honey, coriander, orange, and wheat bread. Taste is initially sweet, but with a bitter, dry finish. Lively carbonation and medium body. Very refreshing on a warm day.

A- Pours a light hazy straw color with a white head. A small amount of lacing was noted. F- A faint yeasty bread smell existed. T- The taste was similar to smell - yeasty and a biscuity. Very light and refreshing with a dry finish. MF- Light bodied with high effervescence. Crisp and clean Great on a hot Texas day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap. It has a cloudy yellow body with a creamy white head and lacing. The aroma has yeast, lemon peel, and a bit of spice. The flavor is light, with Belgian yeast and lemon up front, along with some of the coriander, some sweet malt, and a creamy mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Honey on aroma and taste. It’s got nicely rounded flavours, very enjoyable..
