[on tap at EBF 2008] Very much lemony hops aroma with some orange in there and no corriander. Hazy, very dark yellow with patches of white and a ring. Lots of orangey hops with some soft banana and quite a bit of woody bitterness. Apple notes. Medium body, medium carbonation, lasting woody bitterness.

Draught at EBF 2008. Hazy yellow colourwith a small white head and some lacing. Fruity aroma and taste with wheaty notes.. Nicely balanced.

[EBF @ Copenhagen, September 2008] Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Cloudy golden color. Aroma of mild hops with a fruity twist. Then came an explosion of apricot / peach with some underlying spice, caramel, wheat. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and very dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Lingering sweet apricot and mild bitter dry finish.

Hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Coriander, orange peels, some hops. Sweetish, fruit sugar, oar, wheat .. alcoholic bitterness. A bit soapy mouthfeel. Not very witbier-like.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2009 Draught @ EBF Pours a cloudy orange/tellow color. Aroma is great with lots of spicey notes and fruits. Taste is tropical fruits with a nice hoppy touch to it. Great beer!

Draught at EBF. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy/yeasty aroma. Well balanced citrus notes. Heavy bitter flavor. Long bitter n ot typical Witt finish. Creamy palate. Weird but wonderfull.

Tap @ EBF, 2008, Carlsberg.
Pours lightly hazy yellow-golden with a small, creamy, film head. Aroma is pleasantly malty, light citric with lots of wheat and a quite vinious streak. Only an okay mouthfeel, not enough to warrant the leap in alcohol compared to regular wits. Lightly vinious, lots of malt and good hoppy dryness. Well... it tastes okay, but does the wit style really need this??

Fad på ølfestivalen, fredag. Uklar gul/orange med meget lille hvidt skum. gær, citrus, orgeng, spicy, græs. Noget sødme og godt humlebid. tør og humlet eftersmag. Dette er ikke helt som andre witter.

Blonde, cloudy. Grapes and yeast in the aroma. Yeast, grapes and a hint of coreander in the flavor. A-typical witbier.

EBF08. Spicy berry aroma. cloudy yellow colour. Small white head. Nicely teaish and spicy flavour, clove, orange, good sweetness. Medium bitterness, slightly rough.
