danlo (342) - Durham, ENGLAND - APR 3, 2013
250ml bottle from Drinkswell, Ripon. Hazy pale yellow colour, thin creamy white head and aroma of yeast, lemon & banana. Light watery mouthfeel, taste of malt & wheat, some yeast. Initial sweetness followed by sour notes, through to a spicy dry citrus finish. Fizzy high carbonation level. Quite OK.

Hanoi (74) - - FEB 15, 2013
Strong sent of Belgian yeast and a touch of spice, not a lot of weight behind it. The appearance is a golden yellow. Taste is verging on bland, a bit of pepper and spice, slight banana. Mouthfeel was dreadful, very thin and watery. A poor effort.

Blanca de trigo al estilo clásico, con buen aroma a trigo y levadura. En boca presenta un trago largo bastante aguado, seco y ligeramente metálico. Los cítricos son suaves a piel de limón. El final es corto, con poco recuerdo y poco amargor.

visionthing (1637) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 11, 2013
25cl bottle from La Maison Belge, Puerto de la Cruz. Pours hazy pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, citrus, spices and wheat. Sweet with a light sourness and a slightly dry, citric and spicy finish. Light and refreshing. Quite nice wit. Refreshing and easy to drink.(2013-01-05)

AleTsar (1331) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - DEC 7, 2012
Bottle from Tomlinson’s, Inverness 071212
Light lemon white, hazy, big frothy white head, good lacing
Aroma - soft lemon, some orange, sugars, touch of an aromatic floral note, some fruity creaminess, good aroma
Taste - light lemon and orange, soft spices, light wheat, soft creamy floral, light flavour, fairly thin on flavour. The flavour is less intense than the nose.
Palate - medium carb, light body, creamy texture. Finish is rather dry.
Overall - The flavour here is a bit too subtle - so overall it comes across as fairly bland

Murky light yellow yellow, fizzy carbonation, not much head. Norwal belgian wheat flavour, coriander and a bit of citrus. Not great, not bad

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - OCT 6, 2012
A hazy yellow beer with a white head. Citrusy nose of lemon and orange peel. A light tartness, sweet bread and wheat notes, and some coriander spice. Hints of grass on the finish. The taste is heavy on the lemon zest and orangenotes. There’s a nice malt flavor of bread and wheat, some coriander spice, and mild grass.
