hughie (3018), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Feb 2, 2006 Silvery, cloudy appearance with a thin head. There was some fruit in the aroma, as well as leather and yeast. Taste was citrus and spice with faint bitterness. Not my style, and probably for that reason by far my lowest rating for a St Bernardus product. Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jan 23, 2006 A very sweet grapefruit aroma with a quickly forming/diminishing light white head. Cloudy gold for the color. Heavy sugar notes in the taste, good citrus typical of this type of beer. Another winner from St. Bernardus though not nearly as good as their Abt 12. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 23, 2006 Updated: Feb 25, 2007pours hazy yellow quickly diminishing white head, aroma of citrus and belgian spices, yeast. flavor is smooth, yeasty, and citrusy, not bad at all bosy was somewhat thin. good brew. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jan 22, 2006 From a 330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark yellow with floaties. Small white head. Nose is almost sour, like a white table wine, with orange and lemon notes. Flavor is somewhat spicy, with muted ginger and coriander. Orange and lemon citrus flavors. Body is thicker than most witbiers. gatorbeer (148), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA Jan 22, 2006 Very similar to Hoegaarden. Maybe a bit more bitter. The typical hazy orange color and earthy citrus flavor of a witbier. gputty (456), Virgina Beach, Virginia, USA Jan 21, 2006 330ml bottle. Pours a golden yellow with smallish white head. Nose is of citrus, mainly orange, and ginger ale. Flavor of honey followed by the citrus. Mouth-feel is heavy with not quite the thirst-quenching of a Hoegaarden. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Jan 16, 2006 Notes from Decatur Beerfest 05. Bottle pour - hazy yellow with a decent puffy white head. Wheaty lemon aromas and flavors with a decent balance of corriander and spice. Medium body, and very drinkable and refreshing. A very nice representative beer for the style. KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA Jan 11, 2006 Updated: Jan 12, 2006Bottle: Not as good as I had hoped. It poured a very fuzzy/murky yellowigsh-golden color with a big fat foamy/sudsy head. Aroma is rather bannanay. Flavor is a little off, just a bitter bite (wonder if mine went bad after the apx. 6 mos. of storage I put it through (maybe got too cold overnight in an insulated garage). I guess I could agree it has a weizen-like crispness, but maybe too crisp for a whit.
