St. Bernardus Blanche (Witbier)

This is excellent stuff, reminiscent of the way Hoegaarden once was. Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dirty cloudy yellow orange with lasting rocky head. Aroma of the stuff that should be in here: curacao, coriander, yeast, all in good amounts and proportion. Not overly carbonated. Goes down smooth and refreshing with some uncharacteristic hop, but mainly spice, in the finish. Best Wit I’ve had for ages.

Aroma:wheat and fruit,perfume... Appearance:hazy gold good head... Flavor:sweet wheat flavor,fruit.... Not a long palate in mouth...

Cloudy light yellow. Nose spicy and yeasty. Flavor spicy, some crisp citrus. Quite thick for a wit.

This beer is an outstanding wit. Aroma of citrus. Very light yellow and cloudy, with a very thick, large, and long lasting white head. Flavors of light citrus with coriander and other spice. Lots of wheat in the flavor as well. Full bodied.

Poured a cloudy light golden with a well-retained white head. Just a few floaties. Aroma is primarily lighter fruits (apricot, oranges, etc.) and a bit of wheat. Very pleasant summer-time light nose. Just a tad lighter on the mouthfeel that I would prefer. Well-carbonated, and flavors consisted of bananas, light fruits, and wheat. Mildly bitter wheat flavor on the finish. Very solid all around.

Poured hazy orange wth a thin white head. aroma had citrus, orange and apricot. Taste was a bit spicy for my liking. Pretty nice though.

Large white long lasting head. Cloudy hazy orange color. Aroma is fruity with citrus, spicy and a few herbal notes. Flavor is fruity too with citrus, pears , apricots and light spicy notes, ending in a moderately sweet, slightly herbal finish. Light to medium bodied.

9 May 2005 - Lovely distinctive fruit for a witbier. Cloudy Yellow-grey colour, lowish head and suds lacing. Heaps of fruit but some strange steely and wheat tastes. Medium mouthfeel and a strange aftertaste/finish. I rated this higher because it had a character of its own, even though there are some strange tastes.
