Draught at BXL Belgian Cafe, NYC. Pale yellow, white head. Banana aroma, alittle spicy and with some wheat. Nice green banana flavor, malty with some yeast and some wheat. Some bitterness and some spices late in flavor, and smooth malty notes gives you company throughout the finish.

Bottle. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat and citrus. Light bodied but very crisp. Flavor is yeast, orange, wheat, and some light cinnamon like spice. Pretty good for the style.

Bottled at Järnet Bar, Stockholm. Pours out in a slightly hazy golden colour with a low white head. Light, yet fresh and crispy aroma of banana, cookies, orange-peels and vanilla. Medium-bodied bordering to light-bodied with crisp notes of yeast, coriander, fresh white bread and lemon. Refreshing and crisp finish of mild coriander, orange-peels and yeast. Not earth shattering but one of the better Wit’s I’ve sampled. Really well-crafted, authentic and most of all really drinkable.

12 oz bottle...Poured a hazy yellow...big fluffy white head that was mostly lasting. Citrus, spice, and sweet yeast on the nose...Tasted somewhat spicy mixed with some sour citrus, but finished sweet. Kinda watery w/ light carbonation. Easy to drink, and would be great on a hot day.

Bottled.
Light cloudy, yellow in colour. Poor on the choriander and orange in aroma. Very light bodied, yet some maltiness detected. Very fresh and longlasting in flavour. Subtle example of a subtle beer style?

The aroma was a little disappointing, yeasty, a somewhat like bread, a little bit of wheat, a little sour. The appearance was a uninviting pale yellow, with some cloudiness. Not bad, but not attractive. The flavor was true to most wheat beers, but a little bland. Orange peel dominated the flavor, with some spicyness. It did leave a little spicyness on the palate. Decent, but not great.

Very average. Pours a pale yellow color and a deeper caramel yellow color on the final pour with the yeast swirled. Nose is dry yeasty and bread like with a bit of wheat. Taste is moderate with some wheat and a semi bitter orange like finish. Nothing special I expected more. I think this is a bit past prime considering this is a summer seasonal beer and it probably did not weather the next two seasons well.

UPDATED: FEB 26, 2008 Very good Witbier. There was great flavor and it really left a great taste in my mouth. Enjoyed the lemon taste.
