Hazy yellow coloured; kind of limonade colour. No carbonation with an average white head. Very herby aroma, light hoppy. Medium herby body. Finish is bitter and herby. Not one of the better whites.

Tap. Hazy pale yellow colour with good foamy head. Aroma of ginger and bananas. Mouthfeel is quite full for a wit, Some pepper, coriander, oranges and ginger appears as flavours.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 21, 2006
Pale yellow with white head. Aroma of wheat & citrus. Taste is very little of wheat. Lively carbonation & the little amount of hops/wheat makes it easy drinkable. Pleasant, but it doesnt really have any bite!

Poured with a small head that provided simply outstanding lacing. Some floral aspects (rose?) were detectable and these were nicely laid on top of the basic wheat and citrus flavors of a witbier. There were some significant levels of coriander and other spices, while this one had a great aroma and flavor (including some yeast). This may be my favorite witbier to-date, although getting it fresh and ready to go in Ieper was probably an advantage over the other import wits I’ve had.

Draught at Brugs Beertje. More lemon than orange. A refreshing Belgian white. The memorable aspect is that the billowy white head was a bit chewy.
