bottle sampled @ Bruges Beer Festival 2012: hazy citrus yellow, touch orange with a small white head, smells like doughy yeast, sweet wheat & slightly fake citrus hops, taste is sweet upfront, tastes like cookies & raw cookie dough, plenty of yeast poured into this one, taste more yeasty than wheat to me, tad watery, some wheat, slightly bitter in the finish with some tad fake citrus hops – camomile? didn’t pick it up but might be just me, didn’t get coriander either, maybe touch unspecific herbs in smell – obviously this need more cookies

Good snowwhite head over yellowish beer with a green sheen. Coriander, fake citrus overpowering the nose. Soapy flavour, perfumed in an artificial-liek way, citrussy, but no longer coriander - no doubt the chamomille. Light, bit wheatslickness. Worse than average perfume, sorry, witbier.

4/II/2012 on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-86)
Cloudy beige muddy beer, nice off-white creamy head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty malty, grains, bit metallic, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malty start, some honey, flowers, spices (aniseed). Aftertaste: citrus, bitter touch, more spices. Not as original as hoped for.
