bottle. great white belgian beer. nice color,pleasant palate and great taste.

cloudy, pale yellow colour, great, creamy white head; yeasty aromna;taste of yeast, some citrus, alcoholic sweetness and bitterness in the background (these two latter ones are surprisingly significant); greatly ballanced wheat beer!

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.

Bottle from Csakajosor.hu. Poured honey-yellow with a creamy, white, lacing foam. Coriander, citrus, pine, honey, malts, yeast and some hints of cantaloupe. Hazy, dense body that is somewhat oily and serves a matching medium carbonation. Sweet taste with a well balanced dryish aftertaste, with some hops on the palate. Very nice brew for a summer day!

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.

<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.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2012 Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Citric and coriander aroma. Yeasty and sweey wheat flavour with citric and coriander notes

0.33 bottle (labeled as ’la trappe wit’). yellow, hazy. coriander, plain malts, wit esters on the nose. actually a very nice balance between the malts and the coriander and other spices. I’m liking this a lot. Nods towards the "coriander-lemonade"- direction, but has just not enough to keep it balanced and interesting. A solid wit. Definitely a more interesting example of the style than Hoegaarden or most others that people put forth.

Sous le nom de La trappe Witte Trappist - Bouteille de 33cl. Une blanche légèrement dorée et trouble, mousse abondante de tenue très correcte. Notes d’agrumes (orange, citron vert) complexes. Belle longueur, très agréable au palais avec sa carbonnation fine, vraiment une super blanche! Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.
