Wittekerke

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

25 cl bottle. Yeast at the bottom. Cloudy yellow colour with a little off white head. Aroma of orange peel, yeast and citrus. Nice refreshing flavour of wheat, orange, coriander and little citrus-like. Very light, soft and easy to drink.

light straw color big frothy white head good lacing. Extremly light aroma some light fruits and grain. Small palate. Flavor is light wheat some lightly sweet sugars touches of light fruits. Nice but mellow and plain.

Really a solid wit, and a standby at my house that I can’t believe I haven’t rated yet. Of course, I’ve been a bum about rating for awhile. This is an extremely cloudy tan beer with excellent head retention and lacing. Aroma of orange rind, diffuse spiciness and sweet bread. Flavor has just the right amount of tartness with more fresh orange (and hints of lemon as well). A bit light in the coriander/spices department, but still nice. Finish feels quite dextrinous and is perhaps the major detractor from an enjoyable and refreshing beer.

This is the best wit I’ve ever had. I had this beer on draft, and I’m fearful that the canned 6-packs at my local liquor store (which I haven’t had) just don’t offer up the same experience. I thought this beer was extremely solid, and the fact that it is named for a Flemish soap opera (translates to "White Church") just makes it that much cooler. Beer appearance is cloudy and moderately dark yellow. Carbonation was tight (small bubbles), and offered up some nice lacing. Odor was sort of spicy...and I think was picking up the coriander. Flavor was great! Spicy and light at the same time. I really enjoyed this beer, but would be reluctant to go to the canned stuff at the liquor store...just doesn’t seem the same.

Interesting hint of yeasty lemon aroma. Looks like pale lemon-ade. Precipitants & stuff settled in the bottom of my steeler mug. Decent flavor without any bitter finish. Seems very refined, tho unfiltered.

Pours a light yellow with a nice white head. The aroma is lighlty spicey with notes of orange. The flavor is light and refreshing with a slight orange background.

Nice wheat beer with some banana, cloves and a hint of orange. It got somewhat tart toward the bottom of the glass. Nice beer.

16 oz. pour at the Green Leafe with Lemon slice. Lemon is definately the theme... alcoholic lemonade with wheat and other citrus notes. Very refreshing and enjoyable for what it is.
