SilkTork (4048), Rochester, Kent, England Mar 26, 2005 Keg @ Britannia, Chatham. Very pleasant orange aroma, cloudy appearance, washed glass from the dramatic keg tap - all adds to the appeal; and this is a pleasant enough drink - clean, cold and refreshing. The gentle savlon spice, with just a few hints of soap, and gentle but crisp carbonation, all make this quite drinkable - but it does lack character, depth, edge, life... well, it just lacks genuine interest. But it’s great for a refreshing drink, and we did go back for seconds of this rather than the stodgy Deuchars IPA.
BigBeerHead (41), Reading, Bedfordshire, England Jun 17, 2009 Bad example of a wheat beer. Plenty of weird and rather unnatural fruity flavours however. pretty much everything i’d expect from a kronenbourg beer. Beershine (2268), Bamberg, Germany Jun 11, 2009 Draft in random Paris cafe. Hazy pale yellow-beige with nice white lasting head. Bright orange aroma also lemons. Inviting witbier smells. Soft mouthfeel. Pretty thin, but has a nice lingering wheat finish and a balanced flavor profile. Refreshing citrus up front with good grain backbone boosting the body. Pretty nice and way better than expected. Oakes (7618), Bamberg, Germany May 29, 2009 Almost greyish - yellow and kind of anemic. Fresh orange juice/coriander nose. Very peach - fruity. The body is both wheaty and creamy. Very grapefruity in the finish. SmallOne (72), Sweden May 26, 2009 A really fruity aroma. Also alot of herbs. A sour taste. Not that bad. But not what i expected from a beer. Ljunkan (311), Karlstad, Sweden May 9, 2009 Tap. One of the most artificial flavours I’ve experienced in a beer. Damn weird stuff. It’s not maybe that bad, but artificial feeling destroyed the impression and shocked me that much, that I didn’t even finish it. Gusgus (163), Mölndal, Sweden Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours opaque white-yellow with thin head. Strong aroma of fruit (apricots, lemons), herbs (lemongrass, lemon verbena), and noble german hops (Hersbrucker?), with some fermentation characteristics (slightly phenolic sourness and DMS). A bit thin body. Nice sourness compliments the citrus fruit. Finishes sour and dry. rozsoma (22), Győr, Hungary Mar 11, 2009 Can. In aroma i can find some herbs, citrus, apple, floral hops; a bit cloudy liquid,
At finish there is some sourness in the roof of the mouth.
It is very very fruity for me, like bubblegum for kids.
