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

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

Light golden - cloudy white appearing, very appropriate for witbier. Medium carb, but small head, dissipating quickly. Aroma is enjoyable, with banana, citrus and spice. Zesty and dry, with a light sweetness. Very nicely balanced
