330 ml can. Not too bad. Expected pale pale yellow with a lot of haze. Decent head too. Aromas were slight with mostly citrus. Flavors were better. The orange peel was there, and some spices too. Lemon hints and a nice finish. Good

Bottle. Lovely citrus perfume on the nose. A unfiltered, cloudy yellow with a large, foamy head. Very lemon with a sour/tart finish. A very nice wit, refreshing as a chilly glass of lemonade after a hard laborious day.

Pours cloudy orange with a huge white foamy head. A powerful lemon aroma with notes of grain incorporated as well. Really mild and citrusy (mostly lemon juice and orange zest) taste with a tart finish, Very light and probably good for someone who doesn’t know what a Wit is. I need something more than this when it comes to a witbier.

Pours an extremely pale yellow hazy color with small amount of foamy white head. Aroma is very light and crisp, citrus flavors, wheat, especially grapefruit. Flavor is extremely light and a wee bit tart. Definite citrus flavor. Almost tastes like a mild lemonade to me. Overall, definitely not a bad brew, just not for the winter, more a summer quencher.

More character than the sunshine wit, at least. A more robust citrus mixed with clean wheat flavors and a hint of clove and orange peel. Refreshing but nothing special. Medium body, spritzy.

Poured very pale, almost white with lots of effervescence and a tall frothy white head. Somewhat bizarre aroma of hops and bubble bath (took a while to nail that one down). Taste is very thin, with some light hops and toffee with maybe the slightest touch of spiciness. Body is somewhat watery and undercarbonated. The feel of the whole beer is watered down. The description of Rosé labels this as "the best Belgian wheat beer". Not by a longshot.

Bottle. Strong clove/banana aroma especially for a witbier. Pale yellow color - cloudy with moderate head. Moderate malt flavor - little fruit or spice flavor - bland and on the watery side. A very light witbier.
