BytownJon (23), Ontario, Canada May 4, 2007 Updated: Mar 31, 2009500ml draft at Cafe Nostalgica. Thick white head was minimal by the time it reached the table. Served with lemon wedge. Cloudy, medium yellow appearance. Light spice and heavy citrus aroma, opposite of the taste which was watery and acidic, like watered down lemon juice. I was expecting more. JesseM (660), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada May 3, 2007 Updated: Sep 3, 2008Pours a really nice full white head. I honestly have the remnants of a cold right now so I couldn’t pick up a whole lot in the aroma, but it still seemed pleasant. Nice hazy-white/cloudy colour. The initial yeasty taste was definitely a surprise to me (first white beer for me), not sure if it’s good or not. The hints of citrus and other fruits are definitely good, finish and after tastes very good. I like the fact that the straight-up alcoholic taste is almost completely masked by the various tastes in my mouth. I use to live 20 minutes down the road from Chambly, but was way too young to be drinking beer, but I wish I could go back and sample more stuff from Unibroue. Over-all a good beer. drpimento (785), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Apr 29, 2007 Poured with a nice white head and some lace. Hazy golden straw color. This one is on draft now at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin USA. Very traditional Belgian aromatic spicy wheat aromas. Flavor is same, but more intense. Soft texture, nicely carbonated, bitterness on the tongue, sweetness underlying. Clean and fresh. Very tasty! keith0718 (157), Olathe, Kansas, USA Apr 27, 2007 A lot of carbonation and a bit of wateriness detracts from an otherwise decent brew. Diablo9845 (62), Barrie, Ontario, Canada Apr 25, 2007 Poured cloudy yellow/golden with a large foamy head that dissapeared quickly. Very high carbonation, didn’t care for that at all.
Smelled of citrus and spices, not too overpowering. Tasted of lemon zest, but somewhat bland and uninspired. It seemed like Unibroue wanted to add a witbier to their stable but didn’t put any tought or testing behind it.
Don’t get me wrong, good beer but dissapointing from Unibroue and not my favorite white. mannika (98), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 21, 2007 341 mL bottle. Pours a cloudy pale golden with foamy head. Aroma is of coriander and spruce. Taste is light, a bit floral and fruity, maybe peach. Finish is sweet, a bit of bubblegum. Overall a pretty nice light beer. tenghave (402), Taastrup, Denmark Apr 20, 2007 Typisk witbier, som ikke har den store smag. Tynd og gæret.
Lys som hoogarden - ikke noget specielt. Magtek32 (76), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 17, 2007 750ml bottle. Hazy golden/yellow with a medium sized head that dissapeared pretty fast. Aroma is wheaty and yeasty with notes offruits, banana, peach, bubblegum. Taste of wheat, yeast, a bit of banana, corriander and citrus. nice lively carbonation but a bit thin. one of the better witbiers.
