Koningshoeven Witte Trappist

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Tilburg, Netherlands

From a style I don’t quite favour comes a version that agrees with me through its subtlety, how odd!! Tasted from the bottle and poured into a stumpy tulip glass, chilled from the fridge. Pale, pastel wheat yellow, cloudy, with an immense head forming off the pour- rocky, dense and white as snow- and persistent until the end to lace thin streams down the glass. Generous, spicy and zesty, lemon and orange peel nose with lighter, softer notes of banana and pears. Tart, fresh and very clean in feel and taste in the mouth. Rather sour with a predominant wheat flavour overlaying notes of lemons, banana and sherbet to slip passed the tonsils with frightening ease. Light spicy, clove-like note comes in late into drinking. Light bodied and rather soft in carbonation with a finish that becomes dry and shows little length, but remains fresh and clean without becoming gammy. This was a pleasant summer quencher that besides showing similar traits to all other Wit’s, just had that extra something to push it over the edge. Not bad at all!!! ྾cL, BBE 11/06, Int’l Beer Shop, W. Leederville)

Pours cloudy yellow/white with a whitee head. Smells of coriander, bananas, orange peel, cardamom, chamomile and other herbs ans spices. Taste is sweet eith ethe herbs mentioned above in a near perfect balance with a very delicate hop balance.

Bottle. White lasting head. Golden unclear body. Banana orange aroma. Lemon hops flavor.

33 cl bottle. Yeast at the bottom. Golden colour with a weak fluffy head. Nice aroma of bread, orange and yeast. Fresh flavour of wheat, citrus, yeast and it all ends up in a little sour but nice way.

Cloudy pale straw body (almost dull looking) with a large frothy white head. Citrus aroma along with coriander. Taste is a little bit citric sharp at first, then a bit thin, the light spice remains in the taste and seems to be the main character present. Easily drinkable but nothing really memorable.

One of the less with 100 % natural ingredients, and realy one of the best. A few points more fore the natural ingredients

(bottle) Light cloudy & pale golden colour with a medium sized frothy white head. Wheat and yeast aroma with shy hints of vanilla, pear and coriander. Yeasty and malty taste, slightly fruity and a dry and tart, soft spicy finish with a touch of vanilla.

smelled of lemon, banana, coconut and pineapple juice. flavors of dole orange-banana- strawberry juice and unsweetened coconut. maybe like an orange julious. mmmm tasty. pretty thin on the flavor but the appearance was pretty kickass though, with nice thick foamy head and a goegrous banana body. kickass seabass.
