tomthompson89 (1459), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 30, 2006 had at beer bistro in T.O. nice witbier. lotsa carbonation head lasts reasonably well. coriander orange, somwhat tartas some have said i expected a bit more... Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 29, 2006 Draft at the Biergarden, Portsmouth VA 10/28/06: Off-orange. Very yeasty with an orange twist. Sticky consistency. Good to style. Smooth and fruity. vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Oct 18, 2006 Pours hazy orange with a small white head. The aroma is heavy on the coriander which hits first. After you get used to that some sharp citrus creeps in as well as a spritzy sweet-tart aspect. Medium / light body with a little bit of sharp carbonation. Taste starts with some sourness and smooth wheat then along comes some creamy orange. The finish brings out coriander in a blast, then sourness comes back and the smoothness of wheat as well. This is a good wit, but I expected much more from St. Bernardus. hobgoblin (163), St-Épiphane, Quebec, Canada Oct 13, 2006 Botle. hazzy orange yellow color with thin head and sediment. Yeast, orange and lemon aroma. Taste of wheat, fruity and citrus with orange zest. Carbonation is ok and its a very nice witbeer.
Bière d’une couleur jaune orange trouble avec des sédiments et un mince collet blanc. Odeur de levure, d’orange et de citron. Au goût, elle est fruité avec une toyche d’agrumes et de zeste d’orange. Elle est également rafraichissante et elle est très bien réussis. Une de mes préférées en matière de bière blanche. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Oct 12, 2006 Bottle (330ml). Shared with biegaman, my bottle. Murky light orange, small white head. Sweet thick yeasty aroma of apple, pear and peach, yummy. Tastes similary, a little medium sweet white wine character, no linger at all - but pleasant, sweet and fruity. Very, very thin body, not much carbonation, no linger at all - a pleasing wil’o the wisp of a beer. oh6gdx (8798), Vasa, Finland Oct 9, 2006 Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, big white head. Aroma is dishwater, acidic citrus fruit and yeast. Flavour is yeast, dishwater and slight citrusfruits. Quite standard witbier. GregClow (2493), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 9, 2006 Bottle sample at Union Beer Trade Tasting, NYC. Hazy yellow-gold with a small pillowy head. Aroma of yeast with very nice lemon notes. Mouthfeel is soft and full. Flavour - well, the influence of Mr. Celis is definately there, but it also has lots of Trappist-style character as well. It’s soft and fruit, with hints of lemon and apricot, and a full, yeasty finish. Not as refreshing or crisp as other wits, but still a very tasty and unique brew, well suited for mild autumn weather. frankenkitty (1900), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Oct 6, 2006 Best by 03/03/08
Bottle pours a pale yellow body with the opaque glow of frosted stained glass. A two finger head settles in islands while leaving behind crisp spittles of lace. Yeasts dominante the aroma as bread dough with an addition of lemon and spice. Tart, bready flavor with corriander, cinnamon and orange zest. A thicker mouthfeel helps the flavors coat the mouth while soft carbonation helps it to slowly wash away. This has to be the most satisfying Wit I’ve ever tasted and is as fine a drink now in the cool months of autumn as I’m sure it was under the hot summer sun.
