330ml bottle. Fruit, spice and yeast on the nose. Lovely yeast and spice flavours . A refreshing beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle 330ml from Swords Victoria Market. Nice and malty. Aromas of banana, grain, caramel, and citrus. Taste is sweet, with bitter notes, and long length. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Yellow, cloudy, with a thin head.

Good size head that hung around on a orangey golden body. Orange in the aroma and a touch of coriander which comes through more in the taste, orange still there though, great drinking.

Huge head poured from this beer, i had to let it settle for a few minutes to be able to pur the rest of the glass. There were quite a lot of ester aromas present in this beer, very fruity and a little spicy too. Mouthfeel is medium body, fizzy, moderate bitterness. I think this was a well brewed beer that captured the style well, very resfreshing on a warm spring day. the only negative was the overly high carbonation. I know these beers should be well carbonated but this was too much for me.

Hazy honey gold with moderate carbonation. Nice wheaty aroma, but not that overwhelming bready, cereal aroma that can accompany some witbiers. Wheat flavour (as you would expect), and a nice spicy touch to it. Nice beer.

Pours gold with a massive head fed by lively carbonation. Nose shows orange peel, vegetal-like coriander, doughy wheat and some spicy phenols. Perhaps a bit heavy-handed with the orange peel. Flavours instead focus on the coriander, with the doughy wheat showing soon afterward. The finish is slightly metallic. Carbonation is much too high.

330ml bottle. This one is all head initially with a big billowing cloud of deep white foam which settles eventually. Underneath the foam is a cloudy amber beer that gives off pleasing aromas of citrus and coriander with some banana and bubblegum thrown in. Very clean on the palate and light in the mouth. The flavour is mild with a sweet aftertaste.

From a 330ml bottle on 19/7/2011. Pours a cloudy straw colour, with a big head which dissipates quickly. Has a quite powerful aroma of banana and spices. The flavours are all witbier, yet slightly unusual and quite distinctive. It’s a little sharper and spicier than you’d expect, with the orange peel really coming through. All up, this is one of the better attempts at a Belgian wit I’ve tried. Good stuff.

Bottle. Barely hazy orange with a large white head. Slightly sour wheaty aroma with lots of orange and some coriander and vanilla. Sweet with a little citrus tang, some of those spices and cloves at the end. A bit heavy on the orange peel for me, but OK.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a very hazy straw colour with a fluffy white head that lasts quite well. Nose is very spicey with orange and banana notes. Lots of banana and cloves in the taste. Finishes with coriander and hops. Fairly decent
