Beers of europe. Pours a great golden colour. Aroma is whaty and yeasty with some good fruitiness, though i cant quite think which. Taste is also that belgiun yeast with the same unknown fruits. Great palate also, with good complexity for a witbier.

Poured with a very cloudy medium gold colored body. The head is white. The aroma is soapy with lemons and some bananas. The aroma is relatively complex for a wit. The taste is also soapy with some light orange peel and a little hint of the corriander. The taste is more spiced than some wits. A decent version of the style, but I would prefer a little more citrus. This finishes with a dry character.

Yellow haze below a creamy froth. Bright spicing (coriander and orange peel) in the aroma, which also spews out farmy odors, vanilla, baked biscuits, tart wheat and a hint of toffee. Soft and watery palate, which is bubbly in large doses. Tartness in present, while being quite dry and peppery. The spicing is fairly subtle and could be amped up a bit (I like my witbier full of spices) Light hint of butter toffee on the finish. I like it, although I still havent found a witbeir that truly satisfies.

Nice lemony aroma. I’m not a big fan of Witbier generally and this seems fairly over-rated to me. It’s very easy to drink with a light body and a pleasant hint of citrus - but none of the flavours are strong it doesn’t really taste of a great deal, nothing interesting at all. OK it’s refreshing but best described as pleasant I think, nothing better than that.

330 ml bottle. Yellow orange color, quite hazy. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is lemon, fruit and spice. A light to medium bodied wit. Malts are orange and citrus. Somewhat spicy with coriander and peppers. Lively and soft carbonation. A touch hoppy at the finish. Light, crisp and refreshing. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
