Wittekerke

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

A very slight aroma of grapefruit, cherry and apple. Extremely pale body which is just too light for my preferences. Medium white head with a bland, watered down taste. This beer really needs more body, this is taking into account even it’s style. There are far better ones out there.

(330 ml can: Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Okay, so it’s not the most flavorful witbier out there, but it certainly looks gorgeous in the glass. Pale golden yellow body is fully cloudy and the dense, fluffy, white head fills the top inch and a half of the glass, rising just to the point of overflow. Very lemony nose introduces the flavor quite accurately. Is there anything but lemon in this? Slightly tart, hints of coriander and orange peel, but the lemony citrus is dominant. Clean, nicely-carbonated palate is very refreshing, but also seems a touch thin and watery. Head retention has been excellent, and lacing is a moth-eaten curtain. Not too much here, but it’s pleasant, refreshing and easy to drink.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow, Aroma is lemons and wheat. Flavor is sweet with lots of coriander and a dry lemon finish.

pours a cloudy lemonade color with a small white persistant head, aroma of citrus, lemon, fermented fruit. flavor is sweet upfront with a semi sour finish, good body, great brew.

Pours a cloudy lemon yellow with a small persistant head. Lemony aroma with a similar taste. Very thin body.

Hazy yellow color with a frothy white head. Sweet lemon aroma and a similar flavor.

had on tap. slightly cloudy white beer in appearance. pretty typical for a white. not bad, not amazing, not as flavorful as some whites.

Bottle and can. Very clean wheat beer. Small white head. Sweet aroma and sweet flavor with lemon aftertaste. Very light overall. Almost flat when out of can, but the bottle still retains the proper amount of carbonation. I drink this regularly, but don’t waste your time on the canned version!
