Köyhä Ritari = a Poor Knight = French toast
An epic quest lies ahead - one that does not involve berry picking, jam making, or whipping cream. When the throat runs dry, the sun scorches like a dragon’s breath, and fatigue tightens its grip, our knight hobbles along on his trusty hobby horse for the most noble of tasks: quenching thirst.
Forget pancakes and pastries. This Belgian-style wheat beer is a straw-gold beauty, fresh and beautifully aromatic. Its refreshing citrusy brightness blends with a light, crisp edge.
This lively witbier may loosen a few bolts in the armour, but keeps movement
light and youthful all the way through.

Draft at Leskinen, Oulu. Opaque bright gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has sweet citrus, yeast and a good generous amount of cloves. Flavourwise it's similar to the aroma. Sweet with citrus and herbs. Light. Thin. Benefits from buoyant soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's OK - but as usual I find Wits to be an unexciting sryle. And a tad too sweet.

440ml can. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with average, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Wheaty malty and citrusy fruity, slightly spicy aroma, notes of orange, orange peel, some lemon, coriander, yeasty fruity overtones with a touch of banana. Taste is minimally bready, wheaty malty with some residual sweetness, citrusy fruity, moderately bitter hoppy and slightly peppery spicy, notes of lemon, orange peel, some coriander, a touch of white bread crust; minimally more fruity finish with an additional, yeasty fruity touch of banana.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Nice composition, balanced, refreshing - good.
