Een extreem verfrissend witbier. We brouwden het met lekker veel hop en dat geeft die aangename, zachte moutsmaak van de tarwe een lekker lichbittere bite mee. Net als bij klassieke witbier, de IJwit, voegden we ook hier citroen toe. Maar daar bleef het niet bij. Voor een fikse vleug citrus kwam daar ook nog wat grapefruit een hele lading kumquats bij. Dat zijn een soort mini-mandarijntjes waar je ook de schil van kan eten maar die hier vooral zorgen voor een heel licht tropisch karakter. Je hoort het al, dit drinkt gevaarlijk makkelijk weg. Gelukkig is het alcoholpercentage vrij bescheiden zodat je hier wanneer de zon maar schijnt met hele volle teugen van kan genieten.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Hopped with Amarillo and Galaxy instead of Mosaic. Aroma is wheat, zesty citrus, fruity hops, soft tropical touch, orange, lemon, grassy notes, touch of yeast, light floral. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter with a fairly dry finish. Body is medium. Refreshing and easily drinkable citrussy Wheat Ale, good!

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie. Het is een troebel geel bier met een wit schuim. Het heeft een fruitige en hoppige geur. De smaak is hoppig, citrus en bitter.

Bottle, kumquats and soft herbal notes in the aroma. Wheaty sweetish, citric, spicy flavor, coreander, Anis. Mint finish. Slightly out of balance.

Bottle from Monster Magnet, EU Local Swap. Cheers. Citrus and clove aroma. Pale gold. Hazy. Bubbly. Healthy frothy white head. Medium citrus bitterness, complimented by juicy fruit sweetness. Light to medium bodied. On the light side, although has a chalky element to the mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. A tad asgringent. Highly drinkable. Fresh and refreshing.

(Draught at Foeders, Amsterdam, 28 July 2017) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, hay, wheat and lemon. Malty, hoppy taste with citrus, tropical fruit, wheaty malt and a finish with fresh citric hops and a balanced bitterness. Medium body, mainly dry. Tasty, with a fresh hop character and slightly sharp malt. Quite nice.

Bottle @ home. Opaque very hazy pale yellow color, average sized white to off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is wheat, a very nice hoppiness, light to moderately fruity hoppy. Taste wheat, hops, some citrus, hoppy sweetish mainly and only lightly bitter. Initially high carbonation, but leave it for a bit and it becomes much nicer as the carbonation decreases.

Hoppy smell, but luckily not as strong in the taste. Very light, dry and just the right amount of bitterness. Citrussy, and clearly kumquat.
