Jan 8, 2007 Updated: Feb 4, 2007A very unusual, savoury interpretation. Flattish, vinous mouthfeel. Heaped with rocky white suds. Sour, soapy, woody and Tripel Karmeliet-spicy, but without any countering sweetness or fruit. A hint of barrelly, Flemish ale aged sourness. Musty, spicy and quenchingly strange once you overcome the initial shock of a Wit without sweetness or the tingle of carbonation. Admirably weird and well-crafted, but not a personal favourite. Bottle at Burbage Witbier festival. Re-rate 05/02/07 Spicy, woodsy and sherbety-spritzy. Complex and refreshing.

Jan 4, 2007 Pours a rather dark gold color without much head to speak of. Aroma is yeasty with some hints of stone fruit and cider in the background. Pleasant, easy drinking beer.

Dec 31, 2006 Bottled. Orange and hazy, topped off by a white head. Apples, sweetness, fruityness and citrus in the aroma. The flavor is quite citrusy, with some sweetness and spices. Medium mouthfeel. A nice and spicy beer. (061124)

Dec 30, 2006 Bottle. Lemon, clove, wheat and musty aroma. Cloudy yellow-brown color with small head. Slightly sour wheat malt, heavy clove with hints of lemon, orange, corriander, pepper. Nicely blended with nice clove flavor that doesn’t overwhelm you - Pierre Celis’ fingerprints are all over this one - as good if not better than his other Witbiers.

Dec 27, 2006 33cl bottle from Florian’s in Auburn. Murky yellow body with a half an inch of off-white head. Probably the most opaque witbier I’ve had. Smells citrusy and earthy. Tastes citrusy and earthy too, but these flavors are somewhat muted by the yeastiness of the beer. Light, closer to medium bodied because of the yeast. Carbonation, while present, is also muted due to the yeastiness. Not sure what to make of this one. I think it’d be better if it had less yeast.

Dec 2, 2006 Light yellow, cloudy colored. Little white head. Mild aroma with spices and some orange. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is also surprisingly thin with mild spices and obvious orange. Aftertaste is lemony and yeasty with slightly carbonated and crispy palate. Expected more out of this.
