Qui pense qu’une bière blanche est sans goût ou fade ? Tel était mon point de vu avant de boire ma première Wit Bier. Cette bière est douce mais avec suffisemment d’amertume pour être aimée. Bonne dégustation.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 10, 2005
On tap at Delirium Café, May 2005. Lightly hazy blonde with a thick creamy head. Aroma of wheat, bubble gum but some matchstick sulfur notes also present. Rather weak in mouth, with light bananas and chalky notes. Not what I expected from this brewery.

CampbellWilson (533) - SCOTLAND - OCT 15, 2005
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Hazy yellow with somewhat diminishing white head. Aroma of orange, lemon, coriander, biscuity malts, other spices. Thinnish mouthfeel. Something slightly metallic in the finish. Not bad, though.

Ernest (5116) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - SEP 24, 2005
Bottle, Brussels, May 2005. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), with notes of coriander and orange/lemon peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

harrisoni (9609) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - SEP 12, 2005
Bottle. Opaque gold colour with thin disappearing white head. Citrus spicey wheat beer nose with some sourness. Tangerine/grapefruit and light clove nose. Body is a bit thin and sour. with more tangerine grapefruit flavour on the finish. Not the best wheat beer but if you enjoy tangerine/grapefruit flavours then you will enjoy this as long as you are prepared to accept the sourness.

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - AUG 22, 2005
Bottled. A slightly hazy greeny white-wine coloured beer which pours with no head. The aroma is very lemony with wheaty and spicy notes. The taste is rather thin bodied; it has lemon flavours (slightly sour) and wheat. OK but a bit dull.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 21, 2005
A hazy light orange beer with a nice white head. The aroma is very citrusy - going the way of oranges, combined with spices, and some dishwash water. The flavor is malty with notes of oranges and coriander as well as other not recognizable spices, but something that reminds me of ginger, the spices gives it a slightly dusty mouthfeel, and a dry end. Not the best Wit I’ve had.

sayravai (4526) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 29, 2005
(Bottled@Delirium Cafe, Brussels) Opaque yellow-golden color with a smallish head. Crisp and refreshing, lemony-spicy aroma. Spicy, wheaty flavor with orange and lemon. Light to medium-bodied with a bit foamy carbonation. A spicy and refreshing witbier.
