Vuuve

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

Some moderate carbonation and initial head but absolutely no head retention (could be due to my dishwasher POWERBALLS but I doubt it based on the carbonation in the mouthfeel). The aroma has a light spicyness and citrusy orange peel notes with only a little coriander, a bit of wheat. Very good to style in the aroma. The wheat is a little too musky in the flavor, carbonation too low and the spices aren’t assertive enough for me. The finish is tangy with yeast notes. This is a good witbier, but it’s just missing something that I like in a good one. It also has a bit of tart leatherness after a while that adds to the uniqueness.

Fully hazy (end of bottle is pure yeast) orange-gold; no head. Citric nose, lemonbalm, slightly lactic, something vaguely medicinal. Spritzy acidic, overlying a very spicey-medicinal taste (mannah? paradise seed?) - not quite sweet, faint orange peel. Bit musty. Light, spritzy mouthfeel. Refreshing notes from the acidity are counteracted by the rather dull-musty medicinal flavours. I’ll never dig the witbier style. This one’s uncharacteristic (it’s Regenboog after all!), but it still isn’t my cuppa tea.

Small white head fades quickly. Pretty, hazy orange color. Light citrusy nose, amonia? Light body, mildly puckering. Fruity, lemony, spicey flavors with a touch of cinnamon spices and a mild yeastiness. Finish is dry, citrusy.

Medium gold w/ a minimal short lived white head. Seems almost too dark and clear for a wit! Aroma is definitely coriander w/ hints of orange peel when chilled. Orange becomes much stronger when it warms, and there's a little bit of wheat malt and floral hop aroma; yeasty spice as well. Aromatically one of the most appealing Wits I've ever put my nose over! Seemingly well balanced but definitely tart w/ acidity. Some maltiness, citrusy fruit flavor, and coriander, but all are not as dominant in the flavor as they were in the aroma. Lightly dry finish with a light hop aftertaste. Lightly prickly m/f, light medium body, overall low on carbonation for style IMHO w/ a drier m/f. Overall very good beer. Aromatically superior to may other Wits that I've had, but not quite as flavorful as I'd hoped.

Large white head atop a cloudy golden body. Aroma is medium sweet, lemon, coriander, some floral. Taste is orange, coriander, lemon/tart. Light acidic body.

Light on the palate. Says it's brewed with coriander and spices so I expected the same old Witbier but this one has a refreshing orange/citrus feel to it. Nice.

A nice lemony citrus wit with a good earthy aroma and a nice cloudy color. Really easy drinking, and quite nice.

Very cloudy yellow. No head. No lae. Nose is mild, kinda floral, kinda metallic. Very light bodied, zesty carbonation. Quite tart, almost edging toward lambic. I can't be 100% certain the bottle I tried was not infected. It didn't taste bad at all like infected beers normally do, just sour. Interesting.
