bierkoning (5989), La Tropica, Netherlands Sep 6, 2009 Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Blonde, hazy. Citrusaroma, wheaty, with some flowery and lavender notes. Citrusflavor, thinnish with honey, wheat and lavender, more outspoken as in the aroma. Pleasant, but a bit too perfumed for me. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 4, 2009 750 ml bottle - thanks to westsidethreat for the trade; pale gold with thick, eggy white head; killer nose with sweet, granny smith apples, lemons and yeast; flavors are raw and fizzy with lemons, oranges, coriander; a very nice wit overall brianjames1 (322), Northridge, California, USA Aug 28, 2009 not big on belgians but this one was great. great color great sweet aroma and spicey flavor. amazing lacey body, looked like champagne blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Aug 23, 2009 bottle poured a light golden color with a huge foamy white head and plenty of visible carbonation. aroma has sage, lavender, dried orange peel, and flowery yeast. mouth feel is light with frothy carbonation. flavor comes up with more flowery yeast, candied orange peel, sage, lavender, and some soft pepper. the high carbonation level pushes a lot of light flavors together nicely and there is a lot of interest to this one. vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Aug 21, 2009 Pours hazy yellow / gold with a good sized white head. The aroma is powdery with spice, gentle wheat, minor orange and a crispness to everything. Medium body that has lots of carbonation that’s semi-sharp, but doesn’t interfere with the flavors. The beer starts with clean wheat, lightly tart citrus, minor spice and honeydew. There is a fullness to the flavor more than most wits. There is also a smoothness and richness that may be from the oats used. The finish is creamy for the style and has hints of chamomile and lavender. Great interpretation of the style. blipp (1631), Newark, New Jersey, USA Aug 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a fluffy white head. Huge spicy aroma with some lemony hints. The flavor had a nice spiciness, as well as citric and floral notes. Quite refreshing. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Aug 17, 2009 Solid. Excellent example of the style. Citrus, a little funk, some rubber, some awesomeness on the nose. The flavor follows suit. Very tasty and refreshing. A little overly carbonated, but it’s also damn delicious.
