Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

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.

aroma is okay but not outstanding, beer looks true to style, flavor is a little sweet i miss some sourness or citrus to balance, refreshing but boring.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a white head. Aroma is really fruity, orange peel and coriander. Flavor is much the same, with a nice spicy finish. I think this is a bit underated.
