Pici 2,5 decis üvegben kapható./Hál Istennek!/Kissé zavaros sárga színű termék,gyorsan elillanó hálós habbal.Illata már több mint gyanús,valamelyik fűszertől kissé büdi!Az íze egyszerűen borzalmas!Imádom a búzasöröket,de ez nem az!Olyan mintha egy pohár élesztőbe citromot,koriandert és valami mezei füvet poshasztottak volna! Atomcraft nein,danke!

Cloudy pastel pale yellow with a thin head. Orangina and lime juice smell. Fruity whitbier flavor with a light citris finish. Highly carbonated palate.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks!
Not surprised that one of my preferred witbiers is one of the lower rated ones, as I typically don’t like the style... Pours cloudy, hazy and yellowish. Smell is like orangina. Strong citrusy and fresh with a slight bit of yeast behind that, perhaps. Taste is dry, wheaty and orange, and refreshing and easy to drink. Nice carbonation and body. Pretty nice, I thought, but I’m not too knowledgable on the style.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow/green:ish with creamy head. Fresh aroma of citrus and bubblegum. Weird, almost dry, taste of pineapple, spice and more bubblegum. Quite watery, however, and not much of a finish. Rather interesting on the whole, and very refreshing. Is it really a beer?

Vastly underated in my opinion. This use to be a favorite of mine before I was into beer. It pours with a creamy white head with good lacing and retention. Hazy, light yellow body with plenty of bubbles running up the side. Smells very fruity with lemon (not hoppy lemon, but the fruit), blueberry and pineapple. Taste might be a bit artificial, but it is lightly citrusy and just as ultra refreshing as I remember. Dry mouth and bubbly carbonation; "palate" is the weakest part of this beer

Bottle. Super sweet pineapple/banana aroma. Cloudy light yellow with small head. Sweet pineapple juice and wheat malt flavor. Like no other witbier I’ve ever had - this is more like a US brewpub’s fruit beer or a light version of the sweet fruit lambics.

Muddy blond color, with big head. It has a very artificial aroma, of lemon; also spicy and soapy. Quite sweet, with just a light wheat touch, as well as spicy/lemony/soapy impression. It’s drinkable just because it’s sweet, but I have a serious conscience problem here. So fake!
Just keep in mind that it’s brewed with corn and wheat (no barley) and with artificial flavorings…

Wheat beers need to be drunk in gulps and therefore a 33cl bottle is not enough. This beer has a cloudy, warm, but pale, yellow appearance and a thick, very white head. Good lacing. Being partial when it comes to wheat beers I might be bias, but I did find this beer pretty pleasurable. My 10 yr old reckoned it smelt of pizza. I then realized the oregano smell and flavour was quite strong. It also tastes strongly of lemon and grapefruit. I am sure stronger carbonation would have been to its advantage.
