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.

Pours light golden yellow with a mid-sized head. Lemon seeds, grain, poppy seeds and coriander in the aroma - very much like a light baked good. Lively, yet smooth carbonation. It’s lacking complexity, and depth of flavor. Nice, but nowhere near their darker ales.

Bottle. Light straw aroma for the malt, moderate flowers and perfume for the hops, leather for the yeast, with coriander and nutmeg. Head is frothy, white, with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is murky tan. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, and has a lively carbonation. The aroma is complex andvery unique, the flavor is a little simple, still a world-class Witbier.

Hazy yellow with a thin white head that left little lacing and a very thin film. Spicy aroma with a hint of citrus and wheat. Similar flavors, and the citrus comes on a bit stronger. Medium body, lots of lively carbonation and clean crisp aftertaste.

This flavorful beer has a full white foamy head that left traces on the glass. The taste was crisp and light with citrus undertones, with a slight spicy note and a clean finish. It has ample carbonation with a bit of fizz on the tongue. It is the best witbeir I have had yet.
