This beer does not smell great. It may be the same glass that i keep recycling. some sourness and candy sugar. Flavor, however, is pretty nice. Way more intense than any belgian white. It’s sweet like gummy bears.

Poured gently = golden and hazy with no foam. Aroma is yeast and citrus (orange?). Taste is also yeast and citrus fruits. I was told it was supposed to taste of coreander, but I couldn’t sense it. Maybe it was just me. However the palate is very refreshing. The brew reminds me of finish sima.

Hazy yellow coloured, some light carbonation and an average white head. Some herby and spicy aroma, hints of citrus, coriander. Medium body with a light yeasty-bitter finish at the end. This isn’t really my kind of white, but its not bad.

The name is big, it poured pretty (golden hazy color with beautiful carbonation rising up my weizen glass to a half centimeter head on top). The aroma was nice and spicey with a significant floral presence. The flavor was a tad weak with a musty wheat taste and citrus, coriander, florals coming through at the end.

A spicy, biting wit with lots of zing. Some coriander and clove. Yeasty. Very respectable for the style. Not diluted at all.

In the 330 mL bottle. Pours the color of creekwater when you scoop up too much mud while tryin’ to catch a crawdad. The white head is big, but subsides quickly. The aroma is what is simply amazing: caramel apples! It is a bit spicey- pepper, nutmeg, cloves. The body is medium, maybe even a bit light for a St. Bernie. Has a good hop bitterness top hold it all together. Smooth and quick finish. It is easy to drink lots of this very rapidly. It’s like drinking a caramel-apple pie.
