An excellent witbier. This beer pours a hazy yellow color with an astounding amount of carbonation. The aroma is some bread with heavy shots of citrus, lemon, banana, clove, and some sugar (?). The taste is similar with pieces of a sugary/ candied lemon flavor. Very good, similar to Sterkins.

a little yellower than other whites. Smell is citrus. Comparable to Hoegarden but all around better. Perhaps not worth the price, but an enjoyable wit.

Bottle, tasting session. Hazy yellow/orange, white head. Aroma of citrus and a lot of St.B-yeast, some wheat. Taste is sharp (high carbonation), citrus and yeast, wheat. A bit mouldy because of the yeast, but refreshing because of the citrus flavours. Very nice wit.

33 cl bottle at Carlsens Kvarter, Odense. Very hazy green/orange color, fine whit creamy head. Aroma is banana, wheat, yeast and citrus. Flavor is wheaty and fruity, hints of banana, citric, yeast. A lovely wit, better than Hoegaarden.

Pours a cloudy lemon color with a moderate white head. Aroma of citric and a little yeast. Very smooth and crisp. One of my favorite Wit’s.

Pours a nice pale yellow/orange color with a nice pillowy white head. Just what you want to see in a quality wit. Aroma was a bit overly citrus on first "sniff" in my opinion. As it warmed, this was less pronounced and more balanced. Same type of dynamic with the first few sips - very citrusy... but then became less so. Not sure if it’s my palate adjusting or the flavor changing slightly as the beer breathes and warms. Overall, would recommend. A nice complement to the right dinner menu as well and a great summer or warm weather beer.
