Bottle. Sweet lemon, coriander, and light wheat malt aroma. Cloudy pale yellow color with large white head. Lightly sweet lemon peel, coriander, and wheat malt flavor. Body a bit light. A pleasant enough beer - not spectacular but refreshing and easy-drinking.

Pours a dense straw color, 11.5 degree, thick white head, light body, white carbonation, wheatl flavor, even dry/sw flavor balance, late dry finish. Not really soft mouthfeel, but fair.

BOttled. Hazy golden, brief head. Citric nose with lots of coriander. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Medium bodied with the correct witbier flavours, although a bit sketchy or clumsy. Well drinkable, but no world beater.

Big shiny offwhite head. Hazy yellow body. Harmonic fruity citric aroma with yeast and perfume notes. Dry chalky hoppy yeasty taste with citric notes, somewhat watery. Bitter chalky aftertaste. Sharpish mouthfeel. Decent, but nothing major. The watery acidic chalkiness is slightly unpleasant. (0.5l bottle in a street café near Lykachivskiy cemetery, Lviv.)

bottle. It says it is a classic flemish witbier. Cloudy, pale yellow, large and persistent head, fruity nose. Looks like a Belgian Wit. Yeasty and malty, clearly hoppy. Flavours of spices (coriander) and citrus fruit, rather lemony, but not sour. Very good witbier!
