Hazy pale golden colour, fair loose fizzy white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma wheat, yeast, lemon, coriander, floral hops, earthy notes. Taste medium sweet, light sour and slightly bitter, wheat, citrus, coriander. Sweetbitter and light sour aftertaste, spicy and mineral notes, light orange peel, medium body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation. Interesting and atypical witbier, very nice.

Clear gold yellow beer, big irregular fizzy white head, little stable, falls down quickly. Aroma: soapy, lots of coriander, some citrus, bit floral. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty sourish start, wheat, floral, citrus, soapy bitterness. Aftertaste: bit acidic, soapy, coriander, citrus, some orange peel, pretty dry finish, bit fruity still.

One of Paenhuys' newest products (since last summer), a hypo-alcoholic witbier interpretation. Quite strong gusher... Coarse, egg-white, irregularly bubbled, lacing head settling as a steady moussy ring over a hazy 'old gold' coloured beer with slight peachy hue. Aroma of ripe pear, apricot, strong coriander seed, banana, bread crust, straw, cooked turnips, sweetclover and other field flowers, mandarin (probably just curacao), white pepper, ginger powder. Fruity onset, pear, pineapple, some banana, sweetish (residual white candi syrup) and sourish, the latter forcefully enhanced by very sharp, painfully stinging overcarbonation, very minerally. Pleasantly bready malt sweetish middle, cereally and wheaty but not as soapy as usual for this style, though a 'white bread' wheat factor is obviously there; strong coriander seed spiciness in the finish but also a strong, floral, peppery but elegantly drying hop bitterness, clearly more so than is custom for a 'blanche'. This hoppiness ends earthy and spicy, its earthiness accentuated by earthy yeast features, including a mild, well-fitting phenolic accent. Too bad for the gushing and overcarbonation but purely flavour-wise a very decent interpretation of this worn-out style, deliberately deviating from the Hoegaarden standard into an almost saison-like direction. Well done Dave!
