Cloudy orange color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma is wheat kind of fruity and lightly spicy,so far so good.Fruity flavor upfront with a nice carbonation lvl that makes the flavor dance a little on the pallate.The flavor changes in the middle and end with it going from a sort of mild sweet to a sour side,almost reminding me of Berliner Kindl Weiss in a way.It’s a fairly interesting brew that i think i could get used to on some hot summer days due to it being very easy to drink and smooth.Nice brew for the summer.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2008 Highly impressive dutch beer. This gruit stuff is really good. Its what makes the aroma and taste so unique. This beer is not heavy and very different to any witbier that I have tried. I recommend this all the way.7/3/8/3/17
Re-rate: I wold guess this is the same batch as my first rate. Got it at a place where this could have easily been sitting for a few years. Pours with a small head and a hazy orange/copper color. Aroma is a bit aged cardboard with light too old sourness but a lot of strong musk, light mustard, and spicy honey, A bit overwhelming at first, but once you get past the aged and musk there are cool little aspects. Taste is musky, light spoiled-orange tea, some sweetness and a cheap honey aftertaste. Coriander and tea aspects linger for a while as well. Easy drinking despite the thicker and slicker mouthfeel. Doing good despite the age. 7/3/7/3/15

I really wasnt digging this. A murky yellowish brown appearance similar to pond water. The aroma was ginger root, unknown spice rack stuff, and lemons. The flavors were really funked out like chili powder? vinegar, honey, and I dunno some herbal tea. This was weird as hell. Pass

Bottle, snifter. Hazy peach-gold with small particles. Small, frothy white head. Honey, toasted wheat, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, sweat aromas. Flavor introduces some grapefruit tartness. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic flavor. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture, moderate carbonation. Interesting to be sure, just not the best drinking experience. Spices are all muted and the tartness is a bit overpowering.

21 Jun 2005 - (Inge B&B, Haarlem) - Earthy and vinuos aroma. Cloudy orange, light brown colour, with good head and reasonable lacing. nutty hop and vinuos flavour, well balanced malt and light fruit. Overall - Surprisingly good for a style that I would not normally like.

Cask at Kent BF. Golden opaque beer iwth bubblegum and some sweetish fruit. Followed by long good finish. I would not be able to distinguish this from a wheat beer, but i liked it
