11.2 oz bottle. Foggy olive yellow with a white head. Nose is banana, lemon, coriander, yeast and perfume; quite interesting. Creamy, but a little light, with sharp carb. Taste like the nose with subdued banana perfectly balanced by the slightly sour lemon. Another great beer from St. B.

Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Very cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander and some yeast. Sweetish wheaty flavor with some orange and lots of spiciness (coriander). Finishes spicy and a bit drier. Medium-bodied. A good Wit.

Bottle. Pours a hazy lemonade yellow with a large dense white head. Soft spicy aroma with some citrus and wheat present. Flavors of lemon and spice dominate the flavor. Full bodied and very smooth with some carbonation on the tip of the tongue make this one super drinkable. What can’t the monks of St. Bernard do?

Muddy yellow colour with small head.Aroma of wheat,appel and also orange peel.Medium body and short dry finish.

Bottle. Pours murky gold with a thick creamy head. Aroma of lemon twist and yeast. Flavor is quite freshing. Mild spices, wheaty, citrus. Low carbonation and a bit watery. Not my favorite style of beer, but I enjoyed this one. Very easy to drink.

Very thick, foamy head. Pours dark brown and cloudy. Feels very smooth in the mouth, goes down easy. Slight hint of lemon. A good Belgian White, but not as flavorful as Hoegaarden.
