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.

Bottle: Pours very light in colour, pale yellow bridging on white, with a pretty nice foamy white head. Aroma of sweet malts, yeast, lemon and coriander. Flavour is a little more bitter and hoppy than expected, bready, lemon. Authentic witbier but certainly not the best I’ve had.

Bottle, 25 cl. I expected a mich worse beer actually. The beer looks the same like a Hoegaarden: yellow and hazy with a beautiful medium, creamy, lacing and lasting white head. The aroma is a bit weaker but you have the hoppy, grainy smell with coriander. The taste is hoppy, light bitter on the finish, some fruity notes adjusted. Overall a quite OK beer, not bad at all, but also not very special in taste. It’s much better than e.g. the Witbier Haacht, but is also far from the level of e.g. Celis White and Hoegaarden.

Bottle. Light pale yellow slightly cloudy pour with a medium fizzy white head. Aroma of lemongrass and yeast. Light taste of yeast, citrus and bread with an even finish.

330ml bottle.
Pours a cloudy straw yellow with fizzy carbonation. A poofy white head forms as it pours and quickly dissipates. Aroma is tart, sweet, spicy and citrusy. Flavor is medium-intensity with tart lemon, light sweet malt, yeasty, earthy, with light hops. For all its fizzy carbonation on pour, the palate was disappointingly flat and watery. This would make a decent mow-the-lawn summer beer if it were cheaper.

Very hazy light yellow with little aroma. Taste is very much full of lemon and other citrusfruits. this remains in the aftertaste.

It pours a clear, rather typical wan sunny yellow, but the thick, fluffy, white head adds appeal. Aroma is strong, malty, wheaty and yeasty with just a touch of fruit - mainly banana - and inviting a taste. Flavor is mainly malty with yeasty undertone and a fruity hint. Texture is tingly and lively, what I like in a beer. This one is worth finding. I had it at the Cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody, GA.
