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.

Reimer96 (620) - Alberta, CANADA - JUN 17, 2013
Pours a cloudy straw color with a thick soapy head that leaves lace up the glass. Aroma is a good mix of orange, subtle fruit esthers, cloves and coriander. Taste is a nice delicate balance of orange citrus, lemon zest, cloves and banana with suble spice hints throughout. Excellent wit beer that has a nice creamy medium full mouthfeel from the wheat.

keanex (830) - Atco, New Jersey, USA - JUN 3, 2013
Best before June 29, 2014.
Appearance: Cloudy straw to orange colored body with a tall foamy white head that has decent retention.
Aroma: The aroma is relaxed with subtle banana, lemon, and hints of spices.
Taste: Extremely well balanced and refreshing with orange, lemon, spices and very subtle banana. This is great.
Palate: The body is creamy with high carbonation.
Overall: This is a great witbier that is balanced nicely. The finish comes in a bit hot though, but overall this is very enjoyable.

magsinva (680) - Virginia, USA - JUN 3, 2013
Bottle from TWM Sterling - catching up on old ratings from Oct/Nov 2012 timeframe. I found this one to be a bit boring, but it’s a solid beer.

Poured a cloudy golden color with a medium sized bubbly head. Wheaty, spicy, citrusy aroma. Slightly carbonated mouthfeel with a strong taste of banana and clove, some wheat and citrus in the aftertaste. Strong bananas here.

Abijen (268) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 30, 2013
Pours a nice golden pale beer with a good white head. Smells a bit cheesy. Lemons. Taste is not that special. A bit boring beer.

Bottle. Hazy pale yellow, with a lot of bubbles. Citrus, coriander and yeast aroma. Taste follows the nose, a bit sour with some bitter-sweet notes. Light body with high carbonation.

allmyvinyl (126) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAY 22, 2013
Pours cloudy (and dare I say, like Hoegaarden), good, long lasting, white head. Aroma is floral, hint of clove. Taste is light citrus fruit, wheat, cream, and that bit of clove again. Solid wheat beer, good on a hot day.
