3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 lagermonkey (725) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - MAY 10, 2005
Pours a golden orange with a thick frothy head. Offiwhite and extrememly lacy. Smell is citrusy. Wheat malt and lightly sour. Some coriander present if you breathe deeply.
Taste has alot of orange peel n it, that’s for sure. Fruity, citrusy and bitter. Sourness with the hints of coriander and some very light hoppy flavors. Hops are more prevalent in the finish and for a wit it really has a pronounced stickiness that lingers on the tongue for sometime. It’s pretty good. I like the orange peel flavors this beer imparts, sets it apart a bit form other wits I’ve had. But this bottle was $2.99 for a 33cl bottle. Way more than Wittekerke or Hoegaarden and those beers aren’t THAT less in the complexity department. Price doesn’t always matter but it does here.

33cl btl. this beer pours hazy dark amber with a large bubbled white head. smells a bit putrid, like rotten fruit, with a good deal of citrus and some spice. a bit off-putting at first, although i am usually a fan of belgian white ales. this one was less balanced and mellow. mouthfeel was frothy and tart and it tastes a lot like it smells, plus a bit of nice maltiness and hops.

Pours hazy canary with frothy white head. Aroma of hopcit, huge orange, coriander, even a soapy aroma. Tastes orangy (almost like orange juice), with some hops and dryness in the finish. This one grew on me as I drank it.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2007 This is a weird little beer, but I love it. It has a cloudy pale appearance and very white head. Vuuve is very active, pour cautiously. I smell citrus and spice. It has that sour Belgian twang that love so much. It is unique, tart, and very refreshing.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Cornfield (5238) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - APR 1, 2005
Hazy gold, healthy head with huge orange scents in the aroma, relieved by some coriander spiciness, drinking this is like biting into a mouth-watering orange. You can taste the coriander and a certain citric tartness, but the orange carries the day. This drink sours up somewhat as it warms, but in a refreshing sort of way. Not bad.
