Bottle. Light sour, lemon & citrus, spicy, refreshing smell. Small white fizzy head, fast and fully diminishing, cloudy light yellow body. Light acidic flavor, short duration. Light body, light dry texture and a lively carbonation. Nice refreshing Belgian Wit Bier, good one for a hot summer day.

Pours a cloudy, dull, lifeless, murky yellow with a large, bone white head. Smells like lemon meringue pie. Super carbonated in the mouth, with lemon, wheat, and spicy notes. A doughy finish balances it out nicely. Overall not bad, but nothing to write home about.

Fragrant and sweet, this Belgian Witbier is a far better example of the style than the more popular Hoegaarden. Excellent color and nose with a smooth sweet finish.

Citrus nose. Not banana smelling like a German wheat and not similar to other Belgian Witbiers such as Hoegaarden. Appearance is interesting. Again not like a classic German or what Ive come to know as a Belgian White. Looks most strikingly like a lemonade. Lemony in both appearance and aroma. This is truly a first for me. Taste is fruity once again seems to be more of lemon lime rather than banana. This example even has a pulpy appearance. Im liking this a lot. A LOT.

Interesting witbier - and while not the best tasting, it is possibly the best looking one I’ve seen. Its cloudy white (with just a tint of yellow) clearly reveals the origin of the name white beer. So cloudy its nearly opaque, and also generated a thick layer of creamy head. Aroma was heavily wheaty, with a light coriander spice nose. Flavor was also wheaty but the coriander was supplanted by a stronger orange peel in the flavor. Light and zesty but a touch too sweet to be exactly refreshing. Moderate acidity.

Pours a pale straw color with a foamy white head and some nice lacing. Aroma of nuts and light hops. Flavor of sweet citrus. A nice refreshing lighter beer.

Pours a pale, opaque yellow with a white head and lacing. The light aroma is mostly citrus with some cereal and yeast. Flavor is a light and refreshing citrus and wheat. Not the best Wit but, considering the price and that it is from a can, it is good. A viable alternative to more expensive brands.

All I can smell is the hops and they are not too strong. I like the hazy thin foam that is left on the top after a bit. Taste is juicy and a bit watery. Lemon. Flushed the nachos down pretty good =P
