Cloudy amberish colour. Coriander and marshmallow nose with light dusty yeast. Very spicy with light pear/apricot fruitiness. Spritzy, wheaty finish leans towards dryness.

Blond color, clean; too much foam. Deep aroma: malt, spices, banana. A bit sweet; boring.

Hazy orange with medium head. Aroma has coriander, orange peel and wheat. Same goes for the flavor. Somehow the taste doesn’t suit me.

Hazy orange, steady white creamy head. Dry, wheaty aroma with spices (coriander). Medium-bodied. Sweet, caramelly, banana flavors balanced with malty/wheaty backbone. Dry, long aftertaste. Excellent witbier.

Hazy golden with a loose head. The flavour has citric acidity, grapefruit peel, and a light honey sweetness. The bitterness is nice in the finish. It’s a wit bier and should as such have citric acidity, but I think this is a bit too much, at least for my liking.

Rating # 1800. Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow colour with a big firm thick creamy white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, citrus and coriander. Flavour of wheat, coriander, some spices and yeast. Slight sour wheaty finish.
