happily<b/> bought it in Odense, Denmark, I love this Belgian Brewery , so lookin forward to tasting all of their products.
looks<b/>nice white head, really strong, looks like whipped craem with larger bubbles here and there. Body colour is like grain soup, opaque, cloudy, dirty water colour, adding a few drops of milk to a very watery cup of tea.
aroma<b/> is not sweet, yeast and grain, very mature, but not so strong (maybe because I am drinking it in proper temp. 2-6’C),
taste<b/> light to medium bodied, yeast,watery ice cream, medicine, lime, sour haribo candy, you can feel the belgian note of sublimity. However I am unhappy to rate it lower than had expected

On tap at Monk’s Cafe. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Spicy and yeasty aromas with some fruity tones as well. Crisp and refreshing, light to medium bodied. The flavor was a blend of bready yeast, wheat and citrus. Pretty standard for a Belgian wit.

Light and lively. Nice aroma and better taste. Hazy yellow with a pillowy head. Take a sip and it dances in you mouth many different flavors and surprisingly smooth even though it is very crisp.

Hazy yellow brew with a fine white crown. Nose is superb with green apple, fresh pear, light coriander and yeast, all well expressed. Flavor is warming and spicy, then apple-pie sweet, then bread and yeast savory. The mouthfeel is smooth, surprising how much can be downed in a single sip. There is also a clean mineral taste to this. Overall, I would say WOW, what a well-weighted Wit.

Color: Hazy straw with white foam. Aroma: Dusty wheat straw, hint of green apple, light spice and yeast. Flavor: Like the nose. Wheat, prominent soft green apple, ripe lemon (not tart). Mineral and yeast on the finish. Comment: Very smooth mouth feel. More subtle & complex than a Pinot Grigio. A good quality food, summer, and session beer.

Caramelized lemon aroma with a nice subtle sweetness accompanying citrus. Hazy straw color with a small ivory head that didn’t leave even a spot of lacing. Refreshing with wheat, spice, honey-baked biscuit and citrus. Medium mouthfeel that is clean and quenches. Good solid beer.
