Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Nose is lemony, grassy, and some pepper. Kind of like a a creamy lemonade with some astringency. Head is nice, dense, small bubbles. Finishes clean and fizzy. Plenty of carbonation flavor. Refreshing, but not much flavor going on.

Bouteille de 25cl. Couleur Jauneâtre, trouble, une mousse somme toute correcte pour une blanche. Des arômes d’épices mais rien de bien particulier pour cette bière, que je trouve même un poil acide. Déjà déçu une fois à la pression, cette bouteille n’aura pas changé la donne, bière moyenne. Trouvée au cellier des arcades - Arras.

Light wit with more citrus flavor than anything else. Thin and cloudy. Bland at the finish. Good not great.

Experienced from a 11.2oz bottle in an English pint glass. The beer pours the iconic hazy straw-colored yellow hue, with a surprisingly small white head. The aroma shows the beer’s pilsner malt base, but otherwise lacks the key aromatic ester and spice components of the style. Slight notes of the former manage to claw their way through, just slightly. Given the sample’s age, this is relatively forgivable. The palate also shows signs of extensive and detrimental aging. Clear indications of oxidation come through, overshadowing what seemed to be a palate that strove to not offend in the first place. Carbonation is assertive, and accurately calibrated. The finish leaves a moderate oxidative note on the palate. Overall, a poor, if vastly overaged, version of the style. Worthy of a re-try.

A nice belgian white that was easy drinking and not too much spice or alcohol taste. Standard.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a thick pale color and a citrus acid taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a metal touch . This beer smells light citrusly.

From bottle into a snifter. Appearance is much like that of piss. Hazy yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and wheaty. Taste is like cloves, bread, and fruits. Medium bodied. Nicely put together beer.

Fruity, wheaty, delectable. I don’t think the rating here is high enough. I’d give it more of a 74 overall. Drank from a tulip glass, poured murky, kinda like pee, only ice cold and delicious. The flavor is...there. What I mean to say is that this beer is not going to overwhelm you, but rather provide a nice, light wheat beer experience. Worth the money I paid for it, and I will surely buy again.
