Pours a cloudy gold with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast and banana. Flavor is sweet and citrusy with some yeasty spice and sweet malt. Very refreshing with a smooth finish.

0.33 l bottle from Alko. Hazy yellow color with frothy head. Wheaty aroma with hint of grapefruit and pepper. Dryish wheaty flavor with lemon, grapefruit, herbal hops and subdued peppery spiciness. Sharp carbonation with a palate which is oily and watery at the same time. Drinkable but somewhat dull witbier.

330 ml bottle. Hazy yellow colour, thick and creamy white head. Spicy aroma of wheat and citrus. Refreshing flavour of citrus fruits and spices, some hops in the finish. Medium-bodied and foamy. Very nice.

This is probably the best wheat bear I’ve tried. There’s no hint of sugar or high fructose corn syrup or any of that nastiness.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a bright white head, not much lacing. Aroma is kind of faint, wheat, lemon. Taste is outstanding for a wit, nice balance. Wheat with lemon, honey, nutmeg with a malty undertone. Nice carbonation, not to fizzy like many witbiers I have had. Outstanding for the type.

Unfiltered honey coloured, with odd residue. Fine, but disappearing head. Almost no aroma. Akacia honey? Thin but not watery. Some fine fizz. Somewhat less bitter than Hoegaarden. Hoegaarden has more citrus. Good balance. Otherwise quite similar, other than Hoegaarden looks great, and this looks horrible. More a beer than Hoegaarden, which is more of a juice - an easier drink. Purchased in Kihosk.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a medium-sized white head. Spicy and malty aroma with fruity and yeasty notes. The flavour is very fresh, some wheat, coriander, malt and fruits with oranges and lemon. Quite thin mouthfeel. Good witbier.
