ElDesmadre (999) - Mikołów, - JUN 28, 2012
Bottle. Oh yes, this is a killer. Pudding-like yellow haziness with a head that is gone rather quickly. The aroma comprises witbier elements with the citrusy American hops used. And does it wonderfully. Citrus, coriander, floral elements, some fruit bubble-gum. The yeasty-phenolic part is quite intense and is nicely countered by the strong citrus. Chewy palate with a low to medium carbo but still it manages to be very refreshing due to its combination of a citrusy-spicy flavour with a quite strong bitterness. The latter would be out of place in a witbier but here it has a strongly citrusy character and tastes like curacao and Citra combined. Such a lovely, strong and intense witbier where everything is just like it should be and all elements reinforce each other. Full of aroma, chewy but not heavy. Masterful!

MiP (12478) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 30, 2013
Bottle, 5.7%. Buttery aroma, some yoghurt. Cloudy yellow colour, grey hint. Small frothy white head. The flavour has a good bitterness, orange zest and probably also hops. Not as spicy as expected.

Quack-Duck (6880) - Down South, GERMANY - APR 27, 2013
bottle, kindly donated by ElDesmadre! Hazy yellow, creamy and stable white head. Lovely aroma of fruit (orange), some spices and hops. Full-bodied, especially for a bière blanche, with a pleasant malty sweetness, a yeasty touch and flavours of orange peel and coriander. Not as light and refreshing as a lower abv witbier, but with much more depth of flavour. An Imperial witbier - what a good idea!

I Pinta Viva la Wita! trängs så många smaker att det skulle förslå till tretton polska dussinöl. För de som har ska det vara givet osv. Det är bara att vara tacksam och fröjdas järnet. Huvudet ned och botten upp.

(bottle) pours a murky golden colour with a frothy white head. very strange aroma of orange peel, floral hops, lime zest, grain, bubble gum, muesli and a hint of butter. flavour is mostly the same, grain, lavender, grapes and raisins, with a little too much butter and yoghurt. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

.Bottle, 500ml at Spotkanie ze Szpiegiem, Warsaw. Pale, cloudy, fluffy head. Aroma is sweet and spicy from orange peel, coriander, and american hops. Taste is moderate sweet, notes same as in aroma. Surprising dry, hoppy finish, My favorite from this brewery, extremely drinkable. Best to have during hot summer afternoon.
