Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Sampled on 10/16/2009. This Belgian Ale pours a slightly hazy orange gold color from a 33cl bottle. Large sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, lots of orange, orange peel and spices. A medium bodied Belgian Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, with lots of orange and orange peel flavors. Yeasty and bright. The hops are herbal and spicy. Nice balance. A touch sweet but nice. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

330ml Bel-style bottle. bright yellow color. Aroma of sour grapes and mustard seed. tart flavor. Not good. Very tart, watery texture. I got a bad bottle.

This is light yellow beer with a nice heavy white head. It smells or orange with lots of spice. It has a sharp bitter taste with lost of spice.

From the bottle pours a very lightly hazy, medium golden amber colored body. A small head of off-white foam quickly runs away and hides, leaving just a glassy surface with zero lacing. The aroma is far from good, showing off, salty vegetable notes reminiscent of Vegemite. There’s a medicinal, herbal component that doesn’t fit, with faint, underlying citrus notes attempting to climb out from under the mess. The flavor is not much better, oddly sour and medicinal, with weird smoky notes and more of that dreaded Vegemite. Thin bodied and a little vinegary, even the palate sucks. Basically a drain pour for me. Briny, yeasty, vegetal, and just not any good.

oro schium abbondante ma grossolana peristenza discreta nte leggermente agrumate poco speziate un po acidule in bocca un attacco legermente dolce poi un po di speziatura

(330 ml bottle from Belfast Co-op) Pours slightly cloudy yellow with a tall off-white head in a weizen glass. Aroma of spice, yeast, wheat malt and citrus. Mouthfeel is light-medium full with a wheaty smoothness. Flavor is lightly spicy with light citrus over a wheaty malt and lightly yeasty base. Maybe a light tinge of sourness and hint of pencil shavings (coriander). Quite drinkable and tasty however. I like the nice short name.

12oz bottle from Lynne and Wilkes. hazy gold color. aroma is a little off. dough, yeast and spice. taste is better - light citrus, spices, wheat and yeast. tingly medium texture.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Hazy golden color with an ephemeral white head. Aroma of citrus with an accompanying note of barnyard. Near medium body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is rather orange citrus with subtle spices and mild funk. Crisp and clean. Finishes astringently dry. Very refreshing wit.
