Commercial Description:
This traditional witbier has been developed under supervision of the father of Hoegaarden and Celis White, master brewer Pierre Celis. This beer has been bottle-refermented, which lent it its specific taste.

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.

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.

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.

Very similar to Hoegaarden. Maybe a bit more bitter. The typical hazy orange color and earthy citrus flavor of a witbier.

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.

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.

Bottle: 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.
