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.

Cloudy golden colour with a large-bubbled white head. Smells of green apples, spices and a bit of wheat. Medium-bodied; Strong fruity yeast characteristics with some malt thrown in. Aftertaste fairly clean, but nice and fruity. Overll, pretty good for a belgie white! I bought this 33 cL bottle at Green's Beverages in Atlanta, Georgia and sampled it on 26-September-2003.

(draught) Very pale, hazy, yellow. Fumed glass impaires real assessment). Very thick, white head, very stable. Nose gives lots of coriandre, not much citrus, and wheat. Taste: coriandre, a bit of vanilla, wheat, but no acidity from the wheat. Quite dry mouthfeel. Typical characterless Belgian wit.

Smells like a Budweiser...I'm relieved at my first sip. Certainly not a powerful Witbier, rather Bavik is pure refreshment, with light lemon, orange, and malt flavors laced with just the hint of sweetness. A previous review called this a "beach beer" and I have to agree. Throwing a few of these on the ice and hitting the sand is not a bad plan.

Found as "Wittekerke." Can. White head that didn't last long. Citrus aroma. Looks like champagne with lots of bubbles. Thin. Lacks flavor, tastes like a light lager with fruit. Very disappointing as this is one of my favorite styles.
