This one has a similar palate to the brewer’s other beers and goes down easily but its a bit too lemony-orangey for me. Its an awesome wit despite my predilection there. It has a nice sharp flavor to it and is bound to please wit beer lovers.

What a wit. The monk looks so happy and so am I. Dark and cloudy for a wit. Actually more similar looking to Blue Moon than Hoegaarden. Sweet tasting and citrusy. Very smooth but a little sour. I love this wit.

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.

Nice citrus and coriander nose. Cloudy pale yellow with a big frothy white head and active carbonation. Mellow flavor, malt-heavy. Grassy with hints of lemon and orange peel. Strong palate, smooth with a dry finish that could have a bit more bite. A top notch wit.

Pours a dark hazy golden yellowish brown head with some ripe banana and honey mustard hues and a half finger foam head that quickly fades into a lasting ring. Minimal lacing. Crisp citrus aroma with hints of orange and lemon peel with some spicy corriander and zesty pepper. Soft carbonation up front making it crisp and smooth with a nice balance of citrus and spice notes. Slightly bready/yeasty with hints of orange and lemon peel, corriander, ripe banana and peppery lemon zest. Very drinkable with a sweet dry finish.

Nice fruity flavor and a hit of honey. What I would expect out of a Witbier. Nothing out of this world though, just a solid beer.

Fantastic fruity note for a lighter belgian wit, has a citrus-spicy-coriander top over a ripe juicy pear -tropical fruit base. Medium-bodied but good-sized flourish of fruit followed by spicy finish..It’s a pretty, hazy pale old gold color. Underrated IMO.- Points for sheer style.

Yellow with grey tones, cloudy. Acidic aroma with citrus and spice tones. Round vanilla note. Round sweet flavor. Citrus and spice notes. Malty with a bit of a fresh stony note. I dig this one
