Shared by joebrew and brewfiend. Pours a coppery amber brew with a thick fizzy white head. Excellent retention and lacing. Aroma of fruity bananas, prange peel, yeast, herbs and spices. Taste is fruity, some sour apple, medium body with fizz, and a little dry. Finish is a bit tannin and long. Pretty good.

Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Malty wheat nose with coriander. Pale yellow body with white head. Coriander wheat body.

Bottle, Dodgy Deli, Oxford. Cloudy apricot with a noisy cap of white that settles in snowy drifts. Lovely tart fruit aroma--one sniff lemon, then papaya, then muscat grapes. A generous aroma. Spritzy clean fruit flavor, golden raisins. Underlying malt sweetness, but this is mostly about esters. A lingering bit of tannin finish. Rather nice.

A hazy blonde with a thin dissipating white head. A nice rosewater aroma, pears and bubblegum. In mouthm a light cloven mouth, with bubblegum, fruits, and light hopping. A classy light wit for the summer. Bieropholie private imports. Dégustation Trappiste I, March 9,2007.

Light gold in colour with average carbonation and a slight bit of haze. Aromas of wheat malt, bubblegum, banana, and lemon. In the mouth, the wheat is still the major player, but some of the coriander and peppery spices start to show themselves. Some herbal and lemon character is also present. Perhaps a bit too sweet to start, but dries out a fair bit by the finish. Average stuff... a bit too much like a lightly spieced hefeweizen as opposed to a wit. Thanks to lubiere for the sample!

Bottle - Beertasting at work. Light unclear yellow - white head. Citrus, corinader, light orange, wheat, yeasty, light bitternessm freshm classic wit.

Pretty typical orange peel and coriander aroma. Moderate haze. Citrussy fruit leaning towards spiced Blond/Tripel territory with a warming note of booze. Sourish, spritzy and slightly mildewy. So-so. (up-rate) Mellow peppery spritz, clove, lemon, biscuit, slight banana. Persistent foaming head. Like it.
