Bottle from Carrefour Calais and drunk at home. Haze pale gold colour lasting white head. Looks a bit over carbonated. Some lemon and orange on the aroma. Some Belgian esters, light peach aroma and flavour. More of the same in the mouth. Very citrus led witbier. Yes nice enough. Simple citrus led witbier. Very refreshing and good first beer of the evening.

Bottle on the 1856 Brussels - St Pancras, 374025 & 026, 11/06/18. Hazed pale golden blonde with a moderate off white covering. Nose is lIght spice, lemon peel, white peppery spice, stale bread, faint perfume. Taste comprises lemon peel, herbal notes, papery notes, grains, aspartamic tang, faint herbals. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Supposed to be a wit I imagine ... pretty pap.

Thanks to Dobbe for the (distinct) bottle!
Pours hazy pale yellow with a small, white head. The aroma contains wheat, barley, malt, hops, yeast, some spices. It tastes medium bitter, spicy and dry; perhaps very light sour. Light body, slick/watery texture, lively carbonation. Not tasty in any way, palate ruins it even more; unpleasant.

Bottle @ RBBWG 2017. Many thanks for sharing! Very pale yellow colour, white foam. Nose of wheat, lemon grass, citrus, some coriander and other spices. Not bad, but nothing special.

Bottle share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Dorée pâle, col blanc. Arôme au nez marqué de grains - froment, effet rétro concassés et un fruité d’écorce en rétro-nasal. Palais est fruité virant sur la mandarine qui reste plutôt plaisant sans être transcendant. Malt pils - froment sorte de blanche mais sans voir un impact attendu de la levure de champagne. Petite touche verte houblonnée restant noble avec un fini légèrement épicé et fleuri. Correcte, mais rien, sauf la bouteille, qui apporte du changement à une scène belge en manque d’inspiration.

Sampled at the RBBWG2017 . Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours very clear, very light yellow. Smell is citrussy, unfresh malts. Taste is bit bitter, cheesy, clear wheat. OK at best, yet miles above the ’testversion’ sampled at Modeste 2016.

White head, pale, light-golden, veiled beer. Sweetish herbs & spices, and a bit peppery finish. Sourish, lactic acid, citrus(peel), lemon, wheat. Light body, well-carbonated. Oh well, nothing amiss. But the package is more interesting than its contents.

Thank you Rubin77! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). BBF 13-10-2018. First batch of this was apparently horrendous, even the guys from Lion disowned it. Kraddel who tried it assured us that this one is much better but it is still horendous. Very pale, fizzy industrial white head. Nose is metallic, watery, mineral soap, faint vegetables, hugely unpleasant metallic & mineral qualities. Taste very watery, soap heavy, rotting grains, alternative grains used give it this low rotting yoghurt quality, combined with fizzy mineral, low vegetable broth notes,... Sparkling watery body. Other found this to be passable, I found it to be abysmal, hugely unpleasant. Bottle looks nice ’though.
