Pours with a very slight golden haze into a tumbler with no head. Sour orange notes. Almost flat, very slight fizz, if anything. Sour lemon with a quick finish. The flemish sour of wit beers. Certainly unique.

Slightly hazy white with a thin white head. Aroma of spice, orange, and some funk. Spiced flavor, lots of orange, with hints of tea. Quite fizzy.

Floral pineapple aroma, some vanilla, some orange creme. Lousy label, average hazy yellow-orange I hate these stubby little Belgian bottles. Tart, a bit bitter, not too sweet, yeasty. Medium body, orange peel finish. Fair to midline.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 blankboy (4285) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 17, 2006
Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with lots of bubbles and an average size diminishing white head. Aroma of slightly tart citrus fruit, spices and yeast. Flavour’s like a tart citric wheat beer with some spices and a mild bitterness in the finish. Thin, watery body. This is average and not something I’m likely to get again but It’s different so that has to count for something.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 skoisirius (1029) - Seattle, Washington, USA - JUN 13, 2006
11.2 oz bottle into a Weizen glass. Pours a golden color with a slight orangish hue. Something very interesting about the pour of this brew is that the bottom is quite clear, almost see-through, while the top is quite cloudy. Almost no head on this one. Aroma consists of a Belgian yeast mixed in with sweet oranges and lemon, with a touch of spice on the nose. Flavor brings out a zesty lemon taste on first sip, moving into an orangey coriander and slightly hoppy taste as it slides down the palate for a more tart finish. Definitely a bit different from most wit biers, I personally enjoyed the experience.

Bottle (330ml). Nearly clear gold with a decent bright white diminishing head. Very yeasty, very funky hops, sweet malt with way, way too much coriander in it, plenty of lemon too - my initial reaction was "yuck" but that’s just the coriander diddling my hippocampus (University for river horses). The taste is odd - it’s very much like faint wheat beer with a yak-load of coriander and pure lemon juice poured in it ... but I kinda like it. Mouthfeel is very watery, flat, heavily acidic, quick finish, cleans the scale off your teeth - it’s different, I’ll give you that
