Pours hazy, light yellow colour with a large foamy head. A bit yeasty, fruity smell. Very light mouthfeel, a bit watery maybe but elegant sourness and right amount of carbonation saves the day. Very refreshing. Light malty taste with fruity notes (grapefruit, lemon, a hint of banana and apple) and some yeast. The only negative thing: one bottle of Wittekerke is not enough.

Pours a thick head with nice streaks allong the sides of the glass. The color is a cloudy yellow. The nose is nice and sweet with an aroma of flowers. The flavor is very bitter and a mix of light fruits. Not many beers that come in a can are of good quality, this is not one of those beers.

This is an unusual looking beer. Pours a very cloudy yellow. Looks just like grapefruit juice. Good frothy head with nice lacing. Nose of mixed fruit and wheat. Flavors of mixed fruit and wheat. The wheat essence is perfectly balanced with the hint of fruits. A smooth, easy drinking beer. Quite nice. I will be having this again.

11.2 oz can. Pours a hazy light yellow with a thin fine white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is bright citrus fruits (lemon, orange), wheat and some light spices (corriander).

The flavor is sweet soapy wheaty malts and lemon peel with a crisp finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.

Overall, a solid wit, a little too sweet. It’s a nice change of pace for canned beer.

Can @ PRL. Hazed yellow, small off-white head. Yeasty, mildly fruity aroma with some banana and white-meat tropical fruits. Sticky mouthfeel. Yeasty and sweet, flavors of tropical fruit-flavored candy abound.

Cloudy golden colour with a large-bubbled white head. Smells of green apples, spices and a bit of wheat. Medium-bodied; Strong fruity yeast characteristics with some malt thrown in. Aftertaste fairly clean, but nice and fruity. Overll, pretty good for a belgie white!
