Wittekerke

Canned(330ml). -The only cold beer in Albert Heijn supermarket near my hostel in Amsterdam.
Cloudy yellow coloured, medium sized airy white head, dusty lemony nose. Light wheaty, spicy and weak yeasty with lemony notes in the finish. Watery palate. Not so good witbier.

Grabbed a few cans to share with Buddy steve, the Man among men Celticbrew, and everybody’s favorite drinking buddy, Drbayern. Poured with a soft white head that had nice retention. The light yellow color remained somewhat cloudy. the mouthyfeel was light. there was some sourness to it. Not my favorite Wit.

On tap at Papagos. To the unbiased palate this gives notes of grassiness, humid nights with storms brewing and gravity. Slightly spicy, this is one of the better witbeers I’ve had.

From a bottle poured a hazy golden color with a good amount of head. Nice light citrus/spice flavor with a quick finish.

Can poured a very light yellow with a small head that disappears quickly. Lemon is the major aroma with some yeast. Slightly sour taste with some orange in there. Not bad, just not what I come to expect from Belgium.

Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, banana, spices. Flavor is citrusy, unfiltered wheat, lemon, fruits a touch of tartness. Just ok for me.

On tap. Pale hazy yellow colour, white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander, yeast. Flavour is fresh at first, citrus, wheat and a bit sweet, but has a bit of a cardboard finish (skunky hops?).

This is a Belgian white that I enjoyed. While it may seem light in comparison to some of the craft whites available, it is a nice sipper or quaffer. Aromas are balanced floral hop notes, citrus, corriander and light tart fruits. Flavors are a subtle balance of sweet citrus, appley tartness, herbs and malts, with a mild sweet bittery finish. Higher overall impression is based on the easy drinkability and balance of all the areas.
