Wittekerke Wit is easy to recognize by the elegant glass it is served in, its sunny colour and creamy foam head. The taste is nicely rounded with a well-defined herbal bitterness. The late famous beer expert Michael Jackson described Wittekerke Wit as creamy, aromatic, with a clean, teasing, perfumed fruitiness and a faintly herbal tartness.

33 cl can purchased at Lukas KCMO. Pour is hazy white yellow with a ton of floaties. One inch white head that fell pretty fast, but left behind some nice lacing. Aroma of wheat, lemon citrus, coriander spice, some candy sugar and yeastiness. The taste is pretty tame, some citrus peel, mostly wheat, slight sweetness and some yeasty spiciness to the finish. Palate is medium thin, a little bit watery, but still has some mouth coating properties to it. This is a clean and refreshing beer.

Bottle from Barleywine, Copenhagen. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white foam & lacings. Aroma is sweet of wheat, clove, citrus & fake lemonade. Ok body - soft cartbonation. Nothing to tell your parents about!

33 cl can. Nice egg-white and yolk combo in my glass, half-finger white head over cloudy yellow body. Smell at first is a little sour, like this may have gotten too warm in transit. But it settles to a light, lemony wheat beer note. Taste is spritzy, with lemon zest and subdued notes of coriander. More soft spiciness from wheat malt, lightened by Belgian pils. Starts out slowly, has a nice middle, but gets sour again at the finish. But a nice summer beer.

Wittekerke is light yellow beer with medium head. Aroma is wheatish, metallic and surprisingly there are lager-type aromas. In the flavour there are wheat and some spicys. Easy to drink but still body is strong enough. Whitebeer with lager-like features is not convince and still there are nothing special. Slightly disapointment.

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Dry wheaty aroma. Flavour follows this with a dry wheaty flavour. Light citrus twist before the finish and a mild coriander note.

Interesting witbier - and while not the best tasting, it is possibly the best looking one I’ve seen. Its cloudy white (with just a tint of yellow) clearly reveals the origin of the name white beer. So cloudy its nearly opaque, and also generated a thick layer of creamy head. Aroma was heavily wheaty, with a light coriander spice nose. Flavor was also wheaty but the coriander was supplanted by a stronger orange peel in the flavor. Light and zesty but a touch too sweet to be exactly refreshing. Moderate acidity.
