11.2oz bottle-thanks DavidM for sharing-pours a foamy white head with yellow color. Aroma is juniper branches, light malt. Taste is juniper branches, light malt. Lots of effervescence.

Visually, slightly darker than a Hoegaarden. Taste and nose of a spiced Belgian witbier. Rated 8/14/02

Interesting but not terribly memorable beer. Pours a light golden yellow, not unlike a hefeweizen. Some spice and citrus notes in the flavor, which is a bit on the sour side.

Bottle at ABC beer tasting. Poured a very cloudy pale yellow and a white head. Aroma was very lemony, reminded me of lemonade/lemon pie. Flavor brings out similar flavors with some undertones of coriander and a dry finish.

11.2oz bottle. The label says that it is brewed and bottled in Meer, Belgium. Hazy light golden colored. Notes of straw and vanilla cream. Very nice example of the style.

Pours with a white, fizzy head. Hazy whitish-yellow body. Tiny particles floating around everywhere. Aroma of sweet mandirin, coriander and honey. Spicey taste with some yeasty elements. Fizzy bubbles, but a creamy mouthfeel.

Pretty, slightly volatile, nearly strong ale aroma. Looks very vanilla pale, almost cloudy. Has a bit of mild bitter bite but is for the most part a palatable friendly drink. Finish is nice, a little dull, but in a good way. Not quite as enjoyable as other wits, but still very nice.

Slightly sour, yet rich, yeast aroma. Hazy lemon color with a decent white head that tries to lace. Better than thin bodied, seems to have banana, with a bit of lemon for flavor. The carbonation is mild and spritzy. Tends to turn creamy as the spritz goes away. There is some clove like spice. The finish is a bit veg, with lemon citrus. Overall it makes me think of a light, spritzy, hefeweizen style. Very tasty.

A golden wit (?) with,as reproted earlier, ugly looking big floculation of yeast, rather disturbing, and a thin white head. Aroma is doughy, with honey, and sign of oxidation. In mouth, a bland wit with cloves, light maple, and no body. Bottle is about 2 years old. This may be a Du Bocq version.

Bottle. Pour is a very light straw color with a substantial haze and a large three finger head that is dying down slowly. Aromas are wonderfully lemon/citrus dominated. There is also a bit of a grassy scent and some coriander and cloves lingering in the background. Flavor is cloves heavy with a bit of lemon coming through. That said, the highlights are it as far as complexity... not much there other than the aforementioned flavors. Had a lot of promise in the nose... flavor just didn’t develop further.
