The aromas are a nice blend of malt, yeast, spice and fruit plus a little bad breath! Don't think it's mine. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, bittersweet, don't pick up much of the spice. Good body and carbonation, slightly boozy finish.

Delicious! More Dubbel than Witbier but a lovely mix of both. Utterly crushable. Jan was a leader of robbers, and "at the age of 23 he was broken on the wheel at the Grote Markt in Aalst."

Golden, hazy with a white head. A wheat and fruity aroma, with some spices and citrus. Light bitter, slightly sour with a fruit and some wheat ending.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy golden, large frothy white head. Aroma: Coriander, yeasty, wheat malt. Taste: Wheat malt, yeasty notes, coriander notes, bittery and fruity notes of orange peel. Moderate sweet and moderate to over moderate bitter. Light hints of banana. Smooth mouthfeel. Just over medium body, quite dense (oats). Just under average carbonation. Long lasting finish. Very nice Witbier with a little bit Saison twist.

75cl bottle from Sophie's Beer Store. Drunk prior to England vs Italy in the Euro Final. Pours a murky dull gold, no head remaining. Aroma is gently sweet, floral. High carbonation, Taste seems more akin to a sweet saison than a witbier, bright spicy sweet character, excellent balance. Lovely.
