Jun 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy lighter golden with a small sudsy white head that subsides into a dense fine froth. Fairly accurate Belgian aroma, quite spicy, sweet, lots of wheat, yeast. Flavor is super spicy up front and on the finish, but still quite full in flavor with a large backbone, definitely enough to support up to 6% alcohol. Loads of coriander, citrus, a bit tart, green apple, very yeasty, fruity, maybe just a touch too sweet and chewy, but the spices are quite nice. Body is medium/full, huge for a wit, full chunky carbonation, lightly syrupy. Close but just a touch rough... needs more delicacy.

Mar 28, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a nice head. I would say this is a really good witbier especially for being non-Belgian.
