750 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big clumpy white head that has great lacing. The aroma is mostly pepper spices and lemon zest. The flavor is lightly spicy with white pepper and just a trace of coriander. Sweet lemon drops and oranges round out the taste. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is a bit bland and sticky-pasty. Overall: A very good witbier but not a great one.

Pours light hazy blonde with a big white head. Aroma is spicy and refreshing, as is the taste with some wheat and yeast as well.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a murky grey apricot colored beer with a nice small white head. The nose is of oranges, cinnamon, grapefruit peel, melon, incense, coriander and quite a lot of coconut. Extemely fruity. Some blood oranges in the taste. Nice lacework. Yeasty. Very pleasant dry finish with reminiscent blood oranges. A really good wit. Thanks a lot bov for this beer!

Cloudy brownish gold pour. Bread, brown sugar, sulphur, and ginger on the nose. Bread, pears, and ginger on the taste. Medium bodied and just slightly thin but not bad a good beer all round.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of wheat, yeast, orange zest, curacao, light coriander, and lemon. Poured deep yellow/flaxen/very light brown/gray in color with a small, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet and lightly biter. Tastes of curacao, orange zest, lemon zest, yeast, and wheat. Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, curacao and yeast finish. Too fruity and orangy.

Big offwhite head. Muddy light brown body. Bready coriander aroma with fruity metallic notes. Fruity metallic taste with coriander toffee notes. Astringent and sweetish. Fizzy mouthfeel. Dryish fruity soft metal aftertaste. Disappointingly neutral and unclean. Not as refreshing as it ought to be. (0.33l bottle, corner shop, København.)

A fairly standard wheat beer, nothing special - I think brewed mostly for the sake of completeness. Refreshing enough, but not their strength.
