Hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Banana aroma with a little lemon. The taste is sour with cloves and a slight bitterness. Fizzy.

Draught. Bright, hazy yellpw with a huge white head that was sliced with a knife. Quenching with fresh citrus notes. Under rated IMO.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow colour with a decent white mostly lasting head. Aroma of yeast, citrus and fruits. Nice palate.

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow colour with a thick longlasting white head. Spicy aroma with hints of yeast and coriander. A little thin malty flavor with some hints of citrus and coriander. Smooth malty aftertaste.

(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 22 Apr 2006) Golden yellow colour, hazy, with a firm white head. Nose is soft and spicy with hints of clove and coriander. Taste is smooth and spicy with clove and citrus (Seville orange). Smooth and refreshing, but a bit on the thin side.

Almost tasteless, faint hint of vanilla. Maybe something was wrong with the bottle.

refreshing fruity, spicy and sourrish witbier. there’s citrus zest and just a hint of coriander in it. finishes short and sourrish. good enough.

Bottled. Yellow, hazy beer with a large, dense, diminishing white head. Yeast sediments in the bottles. Lovely citrus aroma of lemon and orange, and some spicyness. Quite weak and dry mouthfeel. Fruity, chalky and metallic finish. The flavor is disappointing in comparison with the aroma, banana, lemon and coriander. The amount of lemon flavor almost makes it reminiscent of a radler. Not a bad beer, though. (060228)
