(11.2 oz bottle (stamped "FL 02 02 09") from Belfast Co-op) Pours very cloudy pale grayish yellow with a very large foamy white head. Aroma citrusy, wheaty. Mouthfeel very smooth, soft, full, refreshing. Sloppy, foamy lacing. Flavor is citrus tartness, yeast, wheat maltiness and glue. Well-done example, certainly, but witbier just does not suit me well flavor-wise.

Tap on event 27/08/06. Smell’s very attractive. Spices and coriander come out ahead of the citrus in the taste. Somehwhat bitter end, dry but not overly so. Very Good whitebeer.

Rate from 02.07.05, cask from LBBF ’05. I used to drink this quite a lot, but not so much these days. Wheat in colour with foamy white head. Nose of wheat and oranges. Slightly spicy edge in the taste with lemon, pear and orange. Mild carbonation which keeps things quite smooth. Excellent wit.

I was not overwhelmed tasting this in a bottle, but later had the good fortune to find it on tap at Touristhotellet, near Gothernburg. Blimey!! Utterly sensational on tap... Without doubt, the finest Belgian white I have tasted. There is some citrus in the taste, for me, but not too much. The malts are rich and pleasing. Wonderful!

Hazy light yellow beer with good white head. Aroma is wheaty and has touches of citrus. The taste is ferm, wheaty and citrussy with hints of cereals.

Hazy yellow with white head. Sweet aroma of citrus fruits & wheat. Medium carbonated. Sweet flavor of fruit and light spice with a crisp refreshing finish.

bottle. pour is hazy yellow/orange with good carbonation and no head to speak of. Nose is very citrusy, spicey, and yeasty. Flavor is nice--coriander, orange, soil, earthy yeast. A well balanced belgian wit. Very nice on the palate....would love to try one of these on a hot, sunny day.

Bottle. Right on! This beer has got everythin I look for in a Belgian wit. Pale and cloudy. Spicy citrus and yeast. Medium palate. Good.
