COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This Belgian Ale is what you could call a wit with an attitude. We are generous with all our ingredients - including both orange peel and coriander. This does not stop this ale from being a good companion with seafood dishes.

Recommended serving temperature 8°C/45°F.

11P 20 IBU 4,5% ABV.

Cunningham (1754) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 24, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 19, 2012 On bottle from local grocery store. A hazy pale yellow bodt with a white head. A wonderful aroma with citrus and coriander. A fine blend of yeast, wheat, citrus adn coriander in the flavour. If they lifted this beer 1% ABV it would have been perfect I belive. Stupid Norwegian rules will stop that

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 16, 2011
Draft at choice city. Pours golden with 2 fingers of white head. Some coriander notes on the nose. Beer leaves a fair amount of lacing in the glass. Fairly dry on the tongue with some peppery bits. I get a bit of hop bitterness on the finish. Solid but not mind-blowing.

Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - SEP 25, 2011
(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm, 24 Sep 2011) Yellow colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity, wheaty nose with citrus, grass, wheat-flour dough and hints of yeast. Fruity, wheaty taste with notes of citrus, dough, hints of yeast and slightly grassy hops in a dry finish. Rather light body, dry. Quite refreshing and drinkable. Nice.

shoulderbroken (357) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 24, 2011
Keg at Rake. Semi cloudy light yellow colour. Aroma is a little bit smoky, very wheaty and slightly fruity, especially orange. Spicy too. Taste is very wheaty but also slightly creamy. Spiciness gives a nice prickle in the mouth. A beer style that I seem to always quite like, but this one did feel a bit special, but not sure why.

deyholla (3153) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 19, 2011
Sampled from the tap @ Bangers and Lace. Pours a very pale clear yellow with a white head that dissipates slow and laces thickly. Aroma had a lot of wheat with some light spice and a bit of sweetness backing. Flavor starts full of wheat and backing spice with a hint of light fruit in the finish.

AshtonMcCobb (778) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - SEP 5, 2011
50cl bottle. Pours pale golden, maybe lemon with a nice head. The nose is intense dried fruits - it’s past the usual orange and into dried apricots. The taste has still more intense apricot and dried mandarin. The palate is medium throughout - structure and texture - then it falls away ok at the end. Overall, an interesting interpretation of a wit where the oranges have totally overawed the coriander.
