Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, GregClow, and Blankboy, courtesy of Harry. Light yellow, small white head. Some lemon, spice, and yeast in wheat like aroma. Light, yeasty, spicy taste. Soft. Refreshing, simple. A little watery in the finish. Ok. A nice easy way to start the massive tasting.

Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - my bottle, via trade with Fyrecrakker05. Poured murky pale yellow-orange with an average white head. Aroma of light apricot/sweet grapefruit hops, light sweet malt, very mild yeasty/spicy belgian wit character. Tastes similar - nice and spicy, lightly funky/yeasty with some tart fruit malt and spice - pleasant. Mouthfeel is watery, lightly acidic and astringent, decently carbonated - very good patio beer. And another tasting begins!

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a hazy golden with a small, fine, white head. Very perfumy coriander nose. Light-bodied with distinct citrus and coriander. Very refreshing and a worthy example of the style. Tasted at the Oklahoma Beer tasting March 06 hosted by mjames and lilannie. 250306

Cloudy yellow body. Orange yeasty nose. Flavours of citrus and yeast cover a soapy orange juice/drink. Sharp almost astringent tounge.

Semi-murky yellow, white head. Soapy, severely floral nose full of lavendar, sharp lemons, sharp wheat and lemongrass. Mildly tart, somewhat weird in flavor, with a dry, mildly bitter sticky palate. Refeshing.

Fades of colour like the rising sun. Capped of white, debris lay in still throughout consumption. Nose laminates orange, lemon, and a seltzer type of spark. Tatse is sparkling water with hints of lemon and orange peel. A small hue of banana sets in, though undevine. Though absent of its essential ingredient, it remains true to a summer fixture.

A nice little wit, with some kolsch-ey characteristics as well. Lemony aroma, with spicy notes of thyme and just a bare hint of banana. Phenols show up in the palate. Even, clean finish, with some spice, and thankfully not too many hops. Not very attractice though: cloudy dull gold-yellow - large bubbles on the sides of the glass, but virtually no head, and no lacing.

Cloudy light golden in color. Citrus aroma. Over whelming citrus flavor. Possible good on a hot summer day. Got the orange & lemon out of it but no wheat.
