Tap at Black Door, Helsinki. Colour is hazy light orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Belgian yeast, fruits, wheat and malts.

Nice witte with golden yellow medium body. Tastes of citrus, banana, yeast and maybe clover. Smells mostly of yeast and citrus. Excellent fat creammy head. Very nice witte.

draft at Blue Monk, pale yellow pour, light lemon notes, mild coriander & citrus zest. Not overly flavorful. somewhat disappointing considering the brewer

Licht kruidig aroma, onvermijdelijk citrus fruit doch niet sterk aanwezig, zelfs wat muf. Smaak is waterig citrus, nasmaak blijft wel lang bij met zachtzoete bitters. Prachtig troebel met lichte kraag. Van de tap @ Jagersrust, Velden.

Straw yellow colour and white head, vanishing after a while. Little smell, some wheat and no orange peel, strange for a Wit. Taste is maily wheat. Not one of the best blanche, sure. Also the mouthfeel is disappointing, taste vanishes quite fast.

33 CL bottle at home, done from memory: decent white beer but nothing special.

Draft at a La Trappe event at Eulogy in Philly. Cloudy banana pour with a bright white foamy head. Clementines. Cloves. Coriander. Pineapple. Yeasty. Soft fuzzy body. Smooth finish, though some pepper grassy floral notes appear after a few beats. Not bad for a Witte, but the style has limitations so this is my least favorite La Trappe.

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2013 Bought a 300ml bottle at the supermarket. Aroma of sweet apple, citrus fruits, coriander and flowers. Has a hazy, light golden color and has a white head, low carbonation. Taste of bananas, mandarins and some herbs. Has a light sour and creamy taste, and the afterdrunk has a light bitter. The best white so far from Holland.

From bottle. pours hazy light yellow with a small white head. The carbonation is somewhat high. Light body beer with flavors of banana, citrus, yeast and malt.

On tap at the monastery. Pours a cloudy, bright yellow colored body with an inch thick, dense, creamy and foamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is grainy and lightly sweetened with a nice citrus note and some wheats. A bit mash-like with a light yeast spice and a few tropical fruit notes. Flavor is similar. Lightly sweetened, grainy wheats with a light yeasty spice, a nice citrus element, touches of tropical fruit, hints of clove, and a light hopping. Finishes clean and lightly bitter with a nice, smooth wheat note and a solid fruitiness. Fairly lengthy aftertaste following a light, smooth body and a soft, moderately active carbonation. Overall, a really well done wit. Fresh, clean, balanced, and very tasty. Great beer to have in the yard of the monastery.
