Pours cloudy amber with a foamy medium head. Citric ester aroma, with some heavy spice. The wheat flavour is dominated by the pleasing lemon and spice, the spiceness lingers with a slightly sweet finish. Quite full bodied for its style. A great thirst quinching witbier, but with enough elegance to be interesting sipper also.

Smells like toast with jam and honey. Flavor starts out fruity with some zest, but seemingly watery as well. Then it transitions into the finish with a nice crisp feeling and a slight tart sourness that is quite superb. More nutmeg in the aroma, more clove in the finish.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is light fruits like banana and lemon, as well as dough and a light spicy note. Medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet with banana, lemon, chestnut, nutmeg, and dough. Very good, really a top notch wit.

Bottle. Medium high creamy and lasting white head. Hazy milky yellow body. Strong lemon grapefruit banana aroma. Pretty carbonated and slightly bitter lemon banana flavor. Long bitter sweet aftertaste.

Scent is citrusy and bready. A thin but fluffy and thick white head sits atop a very cloudy honey coloured body that exhibits very small effervescent bubbles. Taste is bready and citrusy (like the aroma). Not much bitterness and quick finish. Thicker tasting than many other Belgian Whites I’ve tried. A nice, slight variation on the theme.

bottle. pours a white, hazy yellow with a thick fluffy white head. aromas of citrus, banana and a touch of spice. very soft over the palate with some bitterness on the front, while thin on the sides. nice finish with the hops coming through and some spice. very good for this style, which I’m not a huge fan of...

hazy yellow-orange pour with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is very powerful orange and citrus, with a bit of tea and yeast. Flavor is up front pear and orange, wheat, some more tea, creamed corn, cellar, and some cheese. Finishes slightly dry with a mild sweet mouthfeel, a touch of acidity keeps the sweetness in check. This is very good.
