Multilingual can tells us this is from a global powerhouse brewery. Hazy straw color with virgin white head. This does have yeast sediment in it, and it comes out clumpier than from a bottle, I think. Not an atypical wit. Light, refreshing, slightly tart and lemony. Probably not as complex in its spicing as some. Good price for an import.

Poured a cloudy pale yellow with some decent white foamy head. Aroma was lightly citrus with some wheat bits as well. Taste was smooth but unremarkable.

Pours hazy light yellow with a rather large white head. Aroma has some wheat and fruits, flavor is much of the same. A very solid witbier, not much behind Hoegaarden.

I tried this beer on May 21, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. The aroma was a conconction of wheat malt, some banana, and some peppery spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation, and the flavour was grainy, wheat, and some spicy bitterness to finish off.

Can, Pours hazy yellow with a white head and a bit of sediment. Light wheaty aroma, with a hint of lemon. Wheaty, lemony, blah flavor with a hint of sourness. Not that good.

Tap at Rose & Crown in Palo Alto. Hazy, bright golden-yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma of pale malt and citrus/lemon. Flavor is pale malt, lemon, coriander, and grain. Drinkable, fairly light on the palate, but nothing special.

Poured a bright coudy yellow color with a very small white head. Aroma is grass and lemon. Taste is initially metallic, possibly from the can. After a couple more sips this metallic taste went away leaving a very light simple beer with mostly a light lemon taste. Easy to drink but nothing special. I eventually added a lemon to it so sue me.

Coriander Curaçao clove and lemon hints over a sold wheat-malty base. Pours a foggy pale yellow, short foamy head but very defined rings. Notes of kola and spice, late bitterness of hops. Smells of lemon ripe melon. nice balanced subtle package.
