Simply a brilliant idea to make a decent white beer and to enrich it with some old fashioned gruut. It’s this simple combination but balanced out just perfect which makes this for me one of the more notable white beers. A real treat to be drinking.

On tap at Engelbewaarder. Yellow hazy colour. Nice head. Citrus taste. Nice mouthfeel. Taste of pineapple and banana detectable. Quite nice.

Bottle, 25 cl. Hazy yellow color, with good white head. Aroma is low, citrus, yeast, some malts. Thin to medium body. Taste fruits, citrus, a typical wheatbeer, yeast, malts. Refreshing.

bottle at den djiver, bruges. Perfect compliment to the asparagus dish I was eating. Flemish style with salmon and hominy/egg? maybe the food affected my rating but this was a thoroughly enjoyable beer.

330 ml bottle. Cloudy yellow color, big white head. Peachy aroma with spices. Toasty flavor with spices and lemon. High carbonation, medium-light body. Pretty nice wit.

the aroma is a bit on the bland side with a touch of breadish quality. the rest of the beer is a refreshing arrangement of crisp malts slightly citrus and low malt taste.

Kind of boring, really. Pours cloudy golden with white head. Flavor is light lemon, some lime and mostly water. Aroma is skunk - which tells me a bit about the history of this bottle. Meh. Again, I don’t think this is a ’31.’ It’s not horrible - even skunked its a decent wit. It could use some refining, but its not horrible.
