2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
33cl, as Villée, new exclusive brew Anno 2011, with Eau de Villée, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex brew, fruity/malty and slightly alcoholic/sweet, not balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, nothing special, yet original brew!
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Small white head, fine-bubbled, over fully hazy yellow-golden beer. Somewhat artificial, soapy lemon- and lemonpeel aroma, dash of unwanted coriander. Dishwashing liquid with "lemon". Short, but awful coriander flavour, dusty and tired wheatflour and again this dishwashing-like lemony flavour. Unlike lemonjenever, however. Light, mellow carbonation, refreshing if poured cold enough (...) Another low in an already dubious "style".
3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This Belgian white has an overwelming citrus aroma with lemon being the most distinctive part. It pours golden with a white frothy head. It tastes smooth and refreshing with a lingering flavor of mild lemon (especially considering the aroma). A good beer for a hot summer day!
1.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Aroma of lime flavoured soda pop. Perhaps even the aroma of dish washing soap. Little citrus in the flavour.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ home. Hazy yellow coloured with some medium carbonation and a small white head. Fruity yeasty with a clear citrus wheat hinted aroma. Medium to full light creamy palate. Finish is bitter citrus sweet with a light grainy wheat touched ending. Medium sweet citrusy wheat beer.

23/II/2012 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 24/I/13 (2012-154)
Cloudy yellow beer, nice white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of chemical lemon, lemon candy, dish washing soap. MF: low carbon, light body. Taste: lots of artificial lemon, bit sweet, little bitter. Pretty bad. Aftertaste: soapy, more lemon flavour. Yuck. Dreadful. Drain-pour.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20

1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Hazy blond beer with a small white head. Massive nose of oranges and notes of lemon. Tastes very medicinal. Also oranges, citrus. Rather sweetish. Far from good. I’m not going to finish this bottle.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from Delhaize Hyper Oudergem. Body is tangy yellow with poppy head. Nose is candy banana and citrus. Taste is medicinal, sweet, lemony and quite tangy. It is really not a very good beer at all and best left unfinished...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33cl bottle, used to be only available at the distillery, now available for resale in 4-pack. The reknown lemon liquor of Villée now in a beer.
Couleur paille, dorée, mousse est épaisse et blanche.
Arôme est citronné ayant clairement le nez rappelant l’Eau de Villée. Le tout semble agrémenté de qcq épices.
En bouche, une bière légère et facile à boire. On y retrouve tout comme dans l’arôme des notes de cette Eau de Villée. Fruité, palais épais de froment avec une aigreur de citron qui reste faible. Je note aussi la possibilité d’épices tel que curaçao et coriandre pour faire de cette dernière une blanche. Par moment, la présence de l’Eau de Villée apparaît comme de trop, la bière restant facile à boire et désaltérante, mais pas au delà d’un ou deux verres. C’est en tout cas une bonne idée qui change de l’ennui de certaines bières, et est là le seul atout de cette bière.
