Draft at <a href="http://www.5thearlmarket.com/">Fifth Earl Market in Decatur. Pours a very cloudy yellow with some notes of tan. There were a few white bubbles, but no real head (it likely faded on its way from the tap to my table). The aroma has some grassiness and mustiness, some wheat character, and a light sweetness with some spice. The flavor starts wheaty with a subtle tartness and some coriander spice. At mid-palate the beer is dry and wheaty with a subtle hop bitterness. The beer finishes dry with flavors of orange peel and spice. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium in body, and it is particularly dry at the back of the palate. Overall, a great and authentic witbier.

Jul 2, 2009 This is a great beer as to be expected of St. Bernardus. Pours a cloudy golden color with tons of fluffy white head. Nice aroma consisting of wheat and spices. Medium bodied with excellent sweet yeast flavor with spices. This is my favorite belgian white, definitely worth the price.
