Thanks to my secret santa - fizzy body, with a hazy straw color - very full aroma for the style, with abundant coriander, lemon rind, orange marmalade, floral/herbal notes, some earthiness - almost smokey up front, followed by some very floral, farmhouse ale-like qualities - then it starts to taste like a wit, with those citrus flavors really coming in full force, followed by a mild, peppery spice and bready malt - wonderfully balanced and delicious, not to mention original - ranks up there with Allagash White in my book.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a hazy, pale golden with a creamy, white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy nose. Light-bodied with accents of citrus while the coriander appears rather sudued. Lightly tart finish. 010406

Would have been a little higher rating, but it is so light that it loses a little in the flavor and palate categories. It is very subtle, from aroma to palate. Lemon aromas and flavors come through as fairly strong, as does a little of spice... we’ll call it coriander since the brewery does, but it is also a little like chamomile. Light and nice for summer, but could have a bit more umpf.

Looks like a witbeer should! Cloudy lemon yellow color topped off by a nice white head. Spritzy lemon flavor that slowly fades into a dry spice finish. I thought this one was above average having perhaps a bit more flavor than other witbeers I’ve had. Thanks to mjames for sending this one!

Bottle Pours a hazy murky white/yelow with a very small short lived fizzy head. No lacing at all. Clasic mild belgian yeat spice aromas. Flavors are mild light grain, slightly dry. The Belgian twang is subdued and the carbonation is pretty soft. Slightly biter trailer. Thin but clean and refreshing feel.

Pours a bright yellow with a frosty white head. Aroma is a nice mix of bananas and citrus. Flavor is deffinatly citrus with some yeasty qualities. Nothing really stands out to let you know its there. Nice and refreshing but kind of light.

Very good aromas of lemon, coriander, and spice hit me as soon as I opened the bottle. This beer is very light yellow, nearly white. Flavor is subdued. All of the qualities are there, but not enough of them. Thin. Point does a better wit.

The entire package is present and accounted for. Cloudy yellow-orange body, thin white head, predominance of banana esters, coriander, and touch of orange peel. Definitely a quality Witbier, although various examples of the style tend to converge and become undistinguishable.

(draught) Straw yellow; slim white head. Light spicy nose, bit of coriander. Citrussy without outspoken orange peel aroma. Spicy witbier taste, wheat, coriander; lemony touch in the finish. Light mouthfeel, refreshing. Nice, light white.

Cloudy pale yellow. Light peach, marshmallow and coriander aroma. Malty, lightly spicy (coriander, mint) flavour. Marshmallowy, and pretty well-made.
Old rating (2003): Pale light saffron. Hazy. Creamy, light honey character with biscuits, sunflowers, and limited citrus. Sweet and sour towards the finish, with some citric crispiness. 6 3 7 3 13 = 3.2
