This rating concerns the Brunehaut version. Yellowish white head, deep yellow blonde, hazy robe. Weak aroma, grainy, wheat, minerals, hint of coriander, hint of citrus peel, iron. Neutral onset, bit metallic, dry ’graininess’ with faint coriander, light sourish yeastiness in the end. Completely stereotypical and even somewhat bland witbier.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, yellowish, pale golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, non-lacing, white head. Typical Witbier aroma in cautious façon, lemon, orange peel, coriander. Taste is minimally sweet wheaty, hints of orange peel. Not really refreshing but rather fusty.

Huge, bit fluffy snowwhite head over originally quite carbonated, yellow-greenish muddy beer. Grainy nose, but preceded by a short, chemical-like whiff. Aberrant fruity (banana?) notes, but with a hint at rotting vegetable matter. Terrible vegetable, or rotting vegetable flavour, with some more notes of green bananapeel. And again, Ginette manages to give herself a chemical taint - low for a "natural blonde"... Finish shows clearly coriander. Warming up, a flavour as from cocos or copra creeps in. Light; light wheatslickness; beer falls flat soon. I’m already no fan of all the Hoegaarden copycats, and if they fail so miserably as this tart, one wonders if Pierre had it right after all...

bouteille 33cl, bb 06/2014. Dorée/paille, col blanc. Arôme de grains, fruité avec citron et cet aspect de grains/épeautre, le tout rappelant un peu trop un produit usine au citron. En bouche le tout est sec, grains concassés, qcq épices avec note de citronnelle et une léger malt pale. Peut-être le profile ’bio’, mais je n’ai pas pu accroché à cette bière.
