Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours a very hazy pale yellow with a medium frothy white head. Lots of bubbles. Aroma is sweet fruity, apples, lemons, oranges and coriander. Lively carbonation. Weak flavour, not excactly thin. But there is wheaty sweetness, very high freshness and fruitiness. Though a little boring.

Bottle. Hazy light yellow, smallish head for a wheat. Spicy lime aroma. Lemon and wheat flavor. Watery and mellow carbonation.

Wittekerke is light yellow beer with medium head. Aroma is wheatish, metallic and surprisingly there are lager-type aromas. In the flavour there are wheat and some spicys. Easy to drink but still body is strong enough. Whitebeer with lager-like features is not convince and still there are nothing special. Slightly disapointment.

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Dry wheaty aroma. Flavour follows this with a dry wheaty flavour. Light citrus twist before the finish and a mild coriander note.

Dough Citrus nose. Classic Wit color. Very refreshing...has a clean lemon-like tartness, but plenty of balance. Bubbly with a lingering finish. Nice beer.

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.
