Common descriptors are
Ahh, Belgian wits. I have tried my share. More often than not, they are either way past their prime (from Belgium and shipped over sea) or they are ridiculously far from what is actually found in Belgium (What the big guys call Belgian wit/white/wheat). My first time sitting at Mort Subite, in Brussels, was an epiphany. I have been trying to match that drinking experience ever since. Perfumey, with a balance of citrus, bubblegum, light clove and herbs, this traditional Belgian-style Wit is as close as you’ll come to Leuven without a passport. Though light in color, the body is milkshake-like from the judicious use of unmalted wheat and oats. The finish is liquid-silk; absolutely no apparent bitterness to speak of. Feel free to bring in your own fruit if you must. I was never served the style with an orange in Belgium, so I make no offering here. There is plenty of citrus flavor in this anyhow, especially served this fresh.
