I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

Bottle shared with Thompson. Cloudy hazy murky pale yellow color, small white head. Smell wheat, yeasty, slightly hay. Taste yeast, wheat, slightly some banana. Tastes more like a weizen to me. Low carbo, low to medium body.

Hazy orangeish white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, sweet malts, grass and noble hops. Coriander, sweet alcohol, ginger in flavour. Quite tight wit.

33 cl bottle. BBE 10.05.2011.

Pours hazy pale golden colour with large foamy head. Aroma of wheat, apricot, lemon, spices, herbal notes and yeast. Flavour of yeast, citrus, spices, apricot, herbs, clove and mild grass, some honey also. Lots of CO2, sour palate with a bitter dry finish. Nice.

bottle at Fifteen, Jamie Olivers restaurant in Amsterdam. Hazy amber pour. Good white head. Very good wit beer

330 ml bottle. BBE 07/2012.
Pours a hazy yellow colour with loads of visible bubbles and a thick white head. Aroma of wheat, orange and some earthy notes. Flavour of wheat, sweet malts, orange, coriander and some slightly sour fruits. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and quite high carbonation. Finishes sweet, wheaty and fruity. Very refreshing. It’s a shame that I didn’t drink this on a summer day.

A solid wheat from Brouwerij ’t IJ. Pours golden with a decent head. Tastes dominated by wheat but there is evidence of citrus and perhaps some spice. Tried at the brewery with Erol and Paul in October, 2011.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 Bottle from Berts bierhuis in Utrecht, Holland. Hazy pale golden colour with a white head. Fresh moderate wheat aroma with some citric notes. Fruity, citric and fresh wheat sweetness in the flavour. Outstanding!
