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.

Pours murky yellow with a thick snow white head. Spicy nutmeg aroma with notes of citrus. Medium to low carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel. Refreshing and slight citrus flavor at first, but finishes spicy and reminds me of October.

It’s a good whitebeer, but I don’t rate this one as high as many others here. Couldn’t find very specific tastes, palate is quite nice and the head is foamy and uneven.

0,33 l bottle as a gift from Bruxelles. Nice hazy-opalescent, teabrown/peach nectar colored beer with a fine creamy lacing head. Lemony and spicy aroma with coriander, fine hop, bready malt in the nose. Yes it is like a cookie. Smooth mouthfeel, fine sourish flavor of bready malt and fruity citrus, hoppy taste with a fine balanced coriander character. One of the best witbier what i’ve ever taste.
