Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Typical Witbier aroma of wheat, spicy yeast, coriander, citrus and banana. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Overall a very ordinary Wit, decent and unremarkable.

Bottle at 't Anker. Pale yellow color. Full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are wheat, nicely blossomy, light coriander and light banana-ish yeasty notes. Nice. Must admit: I was very thirsty after a long walk. 8-4-8-4-14.

Bottle from Lockett Bros. Hazy pale golden body with a massive off-white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of coriander, green banana and chalky lemon. Flavour of grass and muted lemon notes. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Nice and simple. An enjoyable Witbier.

The new witbier in this series, which is named after the old nickname of the inhabitants of the respectable town of Mechelen. Bottle from Fontana, Sint-Niklaas. Thick and frothy, egg-white, tightly 'paper' lacing, very stable, creamy head over a misty ochre-tinged straw blonde beer. Aroma is very classically witbier, with a delicate fragrance on top: soapy coriander seed, white bread, ripe pear, lemongrass, pineapple, lots of vivid lemon peel, green kiwi, gooseberries somewhere, cucumber, lavender, agave, meringue, lime rind, bath foam, plaster, banana-flavoured bubblegum, freshly cut green apples (acetaldehyde?), minerals. Crisp, fruity onset, quite vivid with notes of raw pineapple, green Granny Smith apples, banana and yellow plum, sweet with a souring edge to it accentuated by rather sharp carbonation - yet fit for this style. Supple, fluffy cerealness ensues, white bread, some soapiness but not too much, resulting in a relatively delicate, kiwi-, lime- and pineapple-like finish drenched in the old soapy coriander seed, sourish and in this case very refreshing; a deep, subtle grassy hop note is there, but does not interfere with this beer's natural crispness and mild soapiness. Ends juicy, crisp, fresh and elegantly spicy, sweetish but delicately so, with quite clear coriander soapiness but not overdone at all; the young citrus peel fraîcheur prevails, it seems, but it is elegantly tempered by a very late, yet adequate touch of earthy hop bitterishness. A tad too lemonade-like for me personally, but other than that, a really fine, delicate, well-made wit, conveying the elegance and fragility this particular beer style needs. A kind of refinement of the old Hoegaarden standard, rather than another epigone of it - so in all, even if witbier is far from my preferred style, better than expected and very refreshing indeed.
