Pale yellow coloured beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Citrys herby aroma. Medium sparkling palate. Finish is sweet herby ending a bit bitter.

bottle. light straw with big head. delicate flavor with citrus and spice. just about as nice as a white ale can be. very light and smooth.

Bottle. Slightly hazy light gold pour with a small white head. Aroma of lemon, orange, and wheat. Palate might be a touch thin, but it is crisp and clean. A touch drying on the finish. Not a bad wit.

Bottle. Hazy pale yellow body with a fizzy, white head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of clove, toasted grain, soap. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Tart finish. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Strong soapy taste with a lingering bitterness. The combination of the two makes this almost undrinkable. Meh.

Aroma of oranges, lemon, spices. Opaque light orange colour. Taste is a little sweet and yeasty. Not bad.

(Bottled, "Brewed and bottled in Belgium by Sterkens Brewery Meer - Belgium", EAN 727482020578) Opaque pale yellow with a medium, firm and lacy head. Very strong ginger and coriander in the nose, with some citrusy-wheaty malt. Flavor is also loaded with ginger and coriander, leaving the wheaty tartness in the background. Light to medium body, medium CO2, quite refreshing. A refreshing witbier, but a bit watery, and quite straightforward in all its spiciness. I don’t mind the spices, though. 4243

Bottle (33 cl) from beerplanet.be. Clody milky white, rocky white head. Fresh and slightly pungent coriander and orange aroma, nice wheaty malt backbone. Light to medium body, firm carbonation, lacking the chewy mouthfeel of a really good Wit. Dry with low to medium bitterness, a slight acidic tang.

Pale is color, pours a thin white head. The aroma is one of orange and coriander, very pleasant. Taste of citrus. Taste is light and diminishes quickly with little to no aftertaste.

Strong coriander nose, light breadiness. Milky yellow, medium head. Crisp, super refreshing light body, a bit too spritzy. Coriander is dominant. Clean finish. Standard well made wit. The presence of coriander is stronger and more distinct than in most other wits, but beyond that it doesn’t stand out.

Very pale gold, rapidly diminishing white head.. Nice aroma, a little citrus, coriander, orange peel.. tasty, but lacking body & structure, finishes quickly.. fine sessionable white, good flavor but little complexity.
