Bottle. Light cookie note for the malt, moderate perfume for the hops, light soap for the yeast with hints of grape pear and white wine. Head is small, fizzy, white with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy amber/tan. Flavor starts moderately acidic and finishes moderately acidic, lightly bitter and sour. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively to fizzy carbonation. A nice light and perfumey version of a Belgian Witbier.

My friend said it best ’’ It tastes like moth balls’’. A cloudy golden color gives way to a below average taste. Very week for the style.

A boring Belgian White with very little taste of citrus and coriander. Nothing special.

Dusty, grainy, yeasty aroma. Appearance is golden in color, thin head, particulate matter clearly visible. Flavor is slightly citrusy, spicy, mainly coriander, but is not particularly strong. The finish is very light, mainly a faint sign of hops. Ok for what it is.

Bottle poured into English pint. Hazy amber with lots of bubbles but oddly very little head. Citrusy aroma with some spice behind it. Taste is similar- orangey with some spice in the background. pretty light palate. Nothing to write home about-definitely not a great Belgian White, but you could do worse for a drinkable summer beer.
