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.

Can. Cloudy pale orange with an inch of white head that fades away after a couple of minutes. Crackery aroma with orange peel and coriander. Not very sweet but neither really tangy. Spicy towards the end. Just about refreshing.

0.25 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', bottled in April 2019. Hazy, pale yellow with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, gently spicy, slightly fruity and a bit yeasty aroma of lime peel, coriander and a touch of banana. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently spicy, slightly fruity and a bit yeasty taste of lemongrass, coriander, some clove and a touch of banana, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little tart, spicy and a bit yeasty finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Solid Witbier, a bit too heavy on the spices maybe.

Fles gedeelt met BramL. Het heeft een troebel gele kleur met een wit schuim. Het aroma is moutig, muffig en wat gistachtig. De smaak is tartwe achtig met wat koriander, beetje waterig.

Bottle sample at Beer & Beyond. Slightly hazy pale yellow. Grainy, wheat, light spiciness, some yeast, quite light-bodied, lively carbonation. Easy-drinking.

12 oz can poured, labeled as sunshine in a can. Sold! For some reason. A cloudy, darker yellow pour with a half inch of consistent foam head. Straw and wheat centered aroma. Minimal flavor of wheat, pale with a heavily watered down citrus. Flavor isn't absent, but Not is light, which actually leads this to be pretty refreshing as an overall. No lingering offensive flavors, but no flavors really linger at all. A straight to the point wheat ale, that barely suggests a Belgian style in my opinion. A fun try, definitely.

Dieses Bier ist ein leichter Vertreter dieses Bierstils. Die verscheidenen Aromen sind gut erkennbar aber könnten besser ausgeprägt sein. Man kann es gerne trinken, aber ich denke, die größeren Brauereien haben besseres in petto.

From Jul 2007

Purchased at Wilbur's Liquors in Ft Colins for US$8.99 a 6 Pack.

This pours from 11.2oz can(best by 21-09-08) a very pale straw-yellow with a nice large head of foam that shrinks to a solid layer and it has lots of lacing.

The smell has a lemon nose that I noticed as soon as I popped the tab on the can. I also get whiffs of wheat and for the hot weather we've been having in Casper, it's pretty darned inviting.

The taste on first sip and I get plenty of lemon zest that smacks me in the face and then there's a yeasty kick and some banana and some spice and I'm starting to enjoy it quite a bit but then(yet again), the flavours seem to drop off.
Just before and through the finish, it becomes very bland and watery and and that ruins it for me. Too bad; Initially, I thought I'd really like this Wit.

Can. Cloudy light yellow with a small white head. Very light citrusy lemon aroma. The flavor follows the aroma. Watery. Thin.
