Canned. Jazy light yellow in colour. Close to non existing white head, There is a wheaty and sweet aroma. The aroma feels dry... There is a wheaty and quite citric aroma. It has a sweet aftertaste.

Aroma: Soft sweet Pils Malt, some tart notes, low hop aroma mixed with some spices (coriander/perfumy). As teh beer warms some papery aromas come (older sample) Appearance: Very Pale, cloudy (slightly milky) with moderate white head... which seems to linger Flavor: Sweet Malty flavor nicely balanced with a spicy hop flavor ... The tartness in the nose, shows up and gives way to some spice flavors (Cardamom, Coriander, pepper). Seems a little tired witha hint of papery notes. Lemony and slightly bready notes comes thru as the beer warms Mouthfeel: Light body, with a hint of pricklyness and a lasting refreshing finish... with some hope flavor and ever so slight malty sweetness (Feels a little thin) Overall: A well made Wit Beer. For a Belgin Wit seems to lack a little of the creaminess in the mouth and the spices to bring forward the complexity. Also the sample I have in hand seems to have seen some age. Nonetheless, would be an enjoyable beer in the heat of the day

On tap. Glass is frosted, so I’m not sure about the clearness of the beer. Appears gold-yellow. Aroma is lemon and wheat. Flavor is the same, not exciting.

Hazy yellow coloured with an average white head. Fruity (citrus) yeasty aroma with some wheat hints. Medium body. Finish is herby and rather dry yeasty. Not bad, but there are better whites

Always avoided this due to the price~$8-9/6, and after trying this my avoidance was justified. Pours hazy yellow. Very mild wheat/yeast aroma actually close to a BMC aroma. Mild yeast taste and dry finish. Lacks any citrus or spice characters associated with this style. Not the best of this style that I have had.

Canned. Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is wheat and some weak fruits, and a bit dishwatery. Flavour is wheat, acidic citrus and orange. Also some yeast in finish. OK, but nothing very different...

Bottle - I wouldn’t trust a can of this. Looks purty in the glass. Hazy straw, lotsa froth. Yeasty nose and aroma. Fresh bread and lemons. Dry and sparkling. Perfect for a 95-degree day in Wisconsin.
