It poured a cloudy golden liquid with a big foam that left just a little bit of lacing. There was also some small bits of yeast floating around in the liquid. It smelled fruity with some yeast. Not as strong as the above beer. This one was also very smooth, but had a much weaker flavor. Had some fruits and yeast. But besides that it was a bit watery.

bottle pours golden, thick white head. Aroma is grainy with clear nose of buckwheat, yeasty, citrus. Taste, buckwheat grain had for a different grainy palate, light bitterness with some citronelle / citrus finish that was closer to a witbier.
