On tap in Paris. Cloudy pale yellow beer. Great citrus aroma. Kind of dusty on the palate with more citrus, crisp. An odd, but pleasant wit. Good summer beer. My wife took one sip and proclaimed "lemon poppyseed bread". I could imagine the poppyseeds floating in the beer.

Hardly a head on this near-white body. There is an obvious citrus tast, which make it even frescher. I’d say this is a perfect sommer beer. Usually I a not enthusiastic about Kronenbourg, but I’ll make an exception in this case.

a complex easy to drink witbier. very nice taste of fruit flowers citrus and wheat. one of my favorite witbiers

500 ml. bottle; BB 300808. Pours a light hazy gold color with a respectable white head. Aromas of wheat, lemon and coriander. Starts sweet with citrus peel and mild spice. Could be a small touch of clove. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. Really quite decent to drink.

[500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s Reading] Slightly cloudy, negligible head. Moderate carbonation. Taste initially citrus - grapefruit, lemon, maybe lime. Develops through maltiness into a strong wheaty flavour - like the smell of a combine harvester with a strong hint of pineapple. Quite sweet - could maybe do with a touch more hops. So far so good, but the texture is a little too weak and watery, whilst there is a slightly unpleasant sourness in the aftertaste.

Hazy yellow with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma peachy and mango notes. Sweet flavor with wheat, mango and yeasty notes.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a chalk white head. Citrus fruity aroma. Mango fruit perhaps.flavour is a bit more dry yet with a light mango fruity note. Ends with a medium dry mango fruit flavour.
