Tall white head, frothy, incredible lacing. Hazy golden body. Nose is hints of lemon and citrus, faint clove. Taste is lemony and a bit thin, finish is a bit metallic compared to the other Celis inspired wits Ive had. Clean and refreshing palate, a bit too thin, but still a thirst quenching tasty wit.

11.2oz bottle. Hazy golden color with thick head and good lace. Even though I’m not usually a big fan of this style I really liked this one and have liked everything tasted so far from St Bernardus. Subtle flavors of citrus and spice. Crisp and light. Very good.

11.2oz bottle (Best by 19 03 10) served in a shaker. This wit poured a pale, hazy golden with a two-finger thick head of tight, white fizz. Decent retention and very good lace. The aroma included grainy wheat, dried orange peel, faint coriander, and some bready yeast. The wheat is definately the star. Very subtle spicing. The flavor had smooth, creamy wheat, orange peel, a hint of lemon, and some very mild spice and coriander. The mouthfeel was crisp and light-bodied. Light to moderate carbonation. Amazingly quaffable and refreshing. A decent example of the style.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a very thick white head. Aroma is wheat with a hint of citrus. Taste is similar to smell... Wheat beer flavor with a citrus and slight spice finish. I prefer Hoegaarden, but this one isn’t bad.
