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.

fonefan (29425) - VestJylland, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2007
Bottle @ Københavnske Øldage 2007 in Copenhagen. Cloudy medium orange yellow color with a average frothy good lacing mostly lasting white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, orange, medium coriander, vanilla. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft.

Ungstrup (26476) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - AUG 29, 2004
An unclear yellow beer with a small collapsing whtie head. The aroma contains notes of coriander, yeast, and wheat. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of coriander. A boring wit.

yespr (26476) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JAN 20, 2008
50 cL bottle, thanks to faroeviking. Pours hazy yellow with a diminished white head. Citrus fruity and yeasty. Dry flavour, spiced, banana and mild wheaty. Lingering citrus finish into a solid spiced finish.

Papsoe (25129) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - DEC 1, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Aged sample. Unclear amber golden with a tall, dissipating head. Heavy carbonation. Lovely fruity esters - oddly I sense some banana, when the style is Belgian Wit. Lightly sweet malt with notes of coriander. Pleasant all right but comes closer to a Belgian Blond Ale (probably due to it’s age). Thanks to Yngvar for this rare gem. 271105

oh6gdx (18799) - Vasa, FINLAND - JUL 17, 2008
Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is wheat, mild coriander and other spices along with some yeast and fruits. Flavour is quite much the same along with some slight hints of eggyness. Still a quite nice witbier.

joergen (17722) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 29, 2005
Bottled. Vintage. Cloudy golden coloured with a huge but fast disappearing head. Aroma of fruits and spices. Flavour of fruits and spices with notes of citrus.

omhper (17561) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 28, 2004
Bottled. Cloudy pale yellow. Orangey aroma. Medium sweet with some rounded papery malt, but still fairly thin. There’s som oraneg jam, but the flavour is quite short, and IMO this beer does not live up to the very high expectations I have on Nøgne Ø.

anders37 (12974) - Malmö, SWEDEN - JUL 3, 2006
Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow colour with a big white head. Fruity citrus aroma. Sweet wheat flavor with nice hints of citrus. Sweet malty finish.

MiP (12478) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 24, 2006
Bottle. A year or so past BB date. Weak wheat aroma. Almost clear copper colour. Big-bubbled, but quite stable white head. Weak wheat flavour, a little boring, but with a nice alcohol feel and aftertaste.

Dedollewaitor (12378) - Odense, DENMARK - APR 13, 2007
BB 03/07. Hazy yellow with white head. Aroma has wheat/yeast/citrus and coriander. Taste is the same with a smooth body and rather low carbonation. Light hops appears in the finish! Fine lacings. Classic Belgian style! Nice product!
