Over

Red in colour with a light ten, fairly thick head. Strong slightly fruity scent. Very subtle alcohol taste mixed with a slightly fruity taste. Fruit taste rises with the aftertaste. At least 5 distinct flavors from mouth to aftertaste. Nothing too strong or overpowering. Bizzare grainy lacing.

had at Hans+Ans : When i drank this, damn, i was thirsty and needed a refreshing quenching beer...i got it....light fruity and delicous, clean full and amazing..i loved it!

Cloudy yellow pour with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat, bright citrus, and some honey. Crisp sweet flavor with some nice orange, and corriander notes. A very refreshing beer, one of the best of it’s style that i’ve had.

Bottle, 33 cl. Tasted this for the first time yesterday. Hazy copper-golden color, with a white head. Aroma coraiander, yeast, spice. Medium body. Taste bit sweet, coriander, yeast, perfect in balance with the hops . Nice, whitebeer. Like it !

<b>Bottle brown, 750 ml</b>
<b>Appearance: </b>Pours bright, sunny, lemony, juicy, slightly honey like body colour. Body is hazy to murky in texture, carbonation is very lively and natural effervescence is very strong. Head is snowy white, very gentle, soft and pillowy, frothy deep in structure, there is also quite nice lacing. Head is medium in size but quite firm.
<b>Aroma: </b>Very nice complex spicy - fruity - wheaty composition. At front there is a kind of winy but soft, highly aromatic, inviting, warm and gentle aroma of bananas, lemon, lime, yeasts, butterscotch, milk, wildberries. Than comes some malty and wheaty background, essential and refreshing lime like hops, very flowery hoppyness. Really assertive and easily to catch aroma, on a one hand strong but not heavy on the other, some notes of wine grapes, whipped cream, vanilla, clove, cinamon and many other spices being nicely joined. Very refreshing and deep.
<b>Flavour: </b>Well balanced and mild in texture. Very mild and natural effervescence is dingling your palate, at front there are creamy - vanilla flavours with clove and mainly coriander, orange and lime peal, leavly not cheaply accidic, not too sweet, very ballanced in term of flavours, very distinctive, very soft on a one hand but very nicely accented and pronounced flavour on the other. Daugh, flowery - spicy hoppyness. Finish duration is long. The best Witbier (Belgian White) I’ve had so far. At finish also some fruits show off like lime, banana and orange.
<b>Palate: </b>Body is light, texture is quite smooth, carbonation on palate is lively, finish feel is mineral, soft, clean, highly aromatic in nose and bready, malty, wheaty with yeasts notes on palate.

Unlearstraw colour, sturdy fine head. Rich aroma. Citrusy, but also sweet. A little sour and a even less sweet on the tongue - perfect. Thin body, fizzy fresh. Wife even says better than Hoegaarden and Hoegaarden Speciale. Purchased at Barley Wine.

Pours copper with a white head. Scent is somewhat berry-like. Taste is sweet and tart, reminding me strongly of green apples. Effervescent and sparkly, yet smooth. A nice, friendly beer.
