Natural beer, mixture of wheat malt and barley, unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the bottle. This beer offers great freshness in the mouth combined with the aroma of the hops used to make it.

Bottle shared at the Euston Tap, London, during Nick’s stupidly drunken final big night. Pours a light, hazy yellow with a small, white foam head. Nose holds lemon, wheat and straw. Flavor is medium sweet with some hay bitters, dry lemon and more wheat. Medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with lemon, more wheat, faint yeast, very mild tangy citrus, faint funk. Super drinkable beer. Nice stuff.

Hazy yellow body with a white head. Soft floral flavour of grapefruit: subtle but certaintly nice. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Refreshing and well balanced.

Hazy white gold colour, firm white head. Aroma is very pronounced on the hops for a wheat beer. Fruity, quite herbal. Very fresh. Quite bitter hoppy flavour, light sour wheat malts, quite light, very fresh. Light sour wheat finish, fruity with light spices.
Quite lovely, very fresh and nice. Well made ’wit’ and refreshingly different. Another nice hit by Jandrain-Jandrenouille.
(Draught @ ZBF ’12)

Draft sampled about 37 times at Max’s. This was the most frequently seen beer at the festival, and each of the guys has hashmarks on his hands to prove it. Murky yellow color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of pineapple, breadfruit, straw. Taste is raw lemon bread dough. Very nice.

Light yeast and coriander nose. Milky yellow, medium head. Coriander with light chlorophenols. American Wheat ale? Why not a wit? Granted, it’s not a great one, but it drinks true to style.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy dirty gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is citric, but there’s something smooth and fruity as well. Med + body - but not when the carb dissipates. Flavor is smooth light stone fruit, a bit of wheat, and a touch of citrus. I think this ale demonstrates that a wheat ale can be turned into a hop monster. One queries what this would have been had it been more barley than wheat. As time goes on, the aroma goes floral. The taste becomes simply hop. What a glorious endeavour. Makes me think of the Disney movie Ratatouille. Not everyone can make a great ale, but a great ale could be made by anyone. This is not to denigrate J-J, but simply to acknowledge that I’d never have expected this from a wheat ale.
