Nice looking pour, a cloudy dark straw body with a tall creamy head and slippery gobs of lace. The aroma is light, some breadiness, some coriander, stone fruit, and a splash of mineral water. It is quietly carbonated and feels soft in the mouth. The flavor likewise is bready and has a perfumey spiciness... tasty. It finishes fairly dry and leaves a lemony taste in the corners of the mouth. Pretty decent brew.

750ml bottle: Aroma has got the coriander and orange tinge to it. Appearance is what it should be a cloudy orange with a thick white head that lingers. Taste is rather nice with the alcohol nicely hidden. Palate is somewhat dry with a citrus after taste. Overall, short review. And I liked it. Cheers!

750 c&c from Total Wine on Arden in Sacramento, CA. Pours very hazy orange/gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is mostly citrus. Med body. Flavor is citrus, yeast/spice, maybe a bit wheaty. Has a touch of earthiness in the finish. Quite drinkable.

Poured from a 750ml bottle a hazy golden color. Aromas of citrus, banana, and wheat, flavor is the same, nice and easy beer to drink.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. I brought this one. Very hazy orange gold with a decent even layer of white foam. The nose is apples and yeast with light fruit. Not a lot of flavor. Wheat, and apples are prominent. Alcohil is tasted but is not over bearing and bitterness is mild. Carbonation is significant. This needs more going on.

750mL bottle. Poured cloudy, medium orangey-golden with a dense white head. The aroma picked up sweeter oranges and wheaty notes with orange zest, white pepper, and cloves around.. soft and well-balanced. The flavor found sweet oranges, bready malts, and a touch of honey at the core.. cloves, coriander, and tart wheat around.. fairly sugary on the back-end and finish. Light-medium bodied and well-carbonated on the palate.. nice brew, but a bit too sweet.

Pours hazy golden orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, wheat, and light spice. Flavor is sweet, lightly bready, grainy and a little spice.

a double wit? is there such a thing? it definitely comes off more alcholish and warm that i was expecting, but the flavors were rather one dimensional and thin, with some yeasty darker sugars and a bit of spice in the background. interesting, but i think i will stick with standard wits.

75cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2011, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex Belgian White, spicy/floral and slightly fruity/sweet, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice Winter brew
