Wittekerke

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

300 ml bottle. Dim, yellow/orange body with a dense white head. Aroma is a bit fruit acid, citric, lemon, spices and banana. Flavor is sweet & sour, banana, lemon and oranges. Medium body. Quite refreshing, but rather plain, there is a lot better wit beers around.

I’m not feelin’ it with this beer. Light aroma of bread. Pale yellow, a bit cloudy with a big fluffy head. Taste is rather bland. Not a lot going on.

From the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle no. 39701. The pour is a very cloudy straw yellow-white with an thick, puffy white head. The aroma is sweet malt and wheaty. The texture of the mouthfeel is a heavier feel. The taste is incredibly sweet for a Belgian white...more so than I would ever expect from one. A background of hops as well.

Blah...at least in my opinion. Tasted like leather and straw. Maybe I had a bad bottle, but I’d rather not find out with my own money.

(can - 330 ml) Cloudy gold color with a thick layer of white foam. Aroma is light with some mild spice and citrus along with some mild bread malts. Flavor is mild and sweet at the start with a light citrus and yeast hint with a dry and grainy middle and a lightly tart finish. Very nice for a canned witbier.

Pours like any other quality witbier... nice straw gold yellow, cloudy, with a rocky white head. Nose is estery, citrusy, bready and very light. On the palate a pleasant wheaty cracker malt flavor comes through but quickly balanced with some of the interesting (almost) bananna and orangey sweet flavors. Light bodied and thirst quenching. Not a beer to slowly savor. Would be a good substitute for orange juice in the morning, perhaps with French Toast that has been prepared with a little Grand Marnier. This beer would be perfect... ahem, bier!

looks interesting, pale and cloudy reminds me of lemons. little smell of wheat. the taste kind of jumps around my mouth, very fizzy with a strong taste of lemons without the bitterness overall goes down well, nice and refreshing. defiantly stands out from other wheat beers. its lighter and not as musty.

Aroma: wheat, lemon. Appearance: cloudy yellow, medium head. Flavor: yeast, citrus, lemon. Palate: light body, thin feel, fizzy. Overall: It’s a good beer but not great. Tried it once and I think that’s good enough. It’s priced too high for it’s quality.
