17/III/19 - 33cl bottle @ the Beerknight's castle, BB: IX/2020 - (2019-388) Thanks to Bierridder_S for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet malts, some caramel, banana, coriander, spicy, peppery. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: spicy, coriander, hoppy, bit grassy, slightly fruity, pretty bitter. Aftertaste: spicy, coriander, more pepper, hoppy, dry finish, more of a saison than an witbier, I'd say.

Witbier from this new commissioner in Brussels, tasted from a bottle at Just Beer. Ignoring what is probably the brewer's own and obviously biased rating below, this one had a thick, creamy, eggshell-white, regularly shaped, dense and very stable head over a misty, warm 'old gold' robe with light apricot hue. Aroma of green banana, white bread dough, clear coriander seed, unripe pear, light DMS (overcooked cauliflower), spoiled potato soup, apricot, breakfast cereals, light orange peel touch. Restrainedly sweetish onset with a light sourish edge, bubblegummy but - for a Belgian ale - acceptable banana ester, hard pear, apple, very sharp and painfully numbing carbonation distracting from the flavour, very minerally; slick cereally, white-bready, wheaty body, sweetish with clear coriander spiciness but much less citrus peel fraîcheur, light honeyish sweetness lingering, bit soapy; light grassy hop bitter touch, retronasal DMS returning as well as a weird 'soupy' flavour. The overcarbonation keeps stinging from beginning to end, masking both the right and the flawed flavours. Uninspired idea not executed at its best, I'm afraid.
