Bottle from a gift pack. Hazy yellow amber colour, white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, some yeast and coriander. Flavour is sweet, citrus, wheat and unusual spices/herbs. At first it tastes like a witbier, but after a few sips the unusual herb flavours come out and becomes cloying. Definitely something else, but not too good.

5/02/2008: Adriaan "Real Dutch Gruit Witbier" has a hazy golden yellow color with a fizzy head that disappears almost immediately after the pour. The aroma is both sweet yet a bit acidic which reminds me of apples and vinegar. This beer has a really strange flavor - sour and burnt mixed with honey, various fruits (lemon for sure, even a touch of fig) and light spice, then acidic and vinegar-like followed by some oxidation. The finish has a yeasty profile as well as some toasted wheat malt and finally some apple cider. There really isn’t any bittereness to note. This beer has a pretty light body very little carbonation. The flavor is definitely interesting and is a little bit of a put off at first but then it actually grows and becomes acceptable if not even likeable (the sour and burnt wears off quickly).
12 fl. oz. bottle (5% Alc/Vol) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #181 for this beer...
