Pours clear blonde, no real head. Smell is sharp bitter soapy, lemon and hay. WTF ??? Taste is bitter, citrussy, sweet, hay and funky back. Very citrussy allover. slightly overcarbonated ( isnt fantome supposed to be flat ??? lol ) Really weird...You get what you aim for ?

Bottle, BB end 2017. Label just says Blanche but it must be this one [edit: ABV matches too]. Hazy gold with a coat of white head. Intensely grapefruity aroma - juice not zest - some hay, flowers. Light bodied, lowish carbonation. A slight creaminess just about stops it being watery. Lots of grapefruit again, some soft grainy sweetness, lavender (in a little burst), apricot and white pepper. Moderately bitter, a little astringent, stemmy and tingly at the end. Deeply refreshing.

Medium offwhite head. Hazy deep yellow body with light carbonation. Lime and guarana aroma with mealy waxy notes. Certainly unusual! Sweet-acidic cucumber and guarana taste with mealy wheaty notes. Mid-to-thin body. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dryish-acidic tropical fruit with sharp, astringent cucumber finish. Lingering wooden acid. That finish is just horrible. Undrinkable. (0.75l bottle, I forget where from.)

75CL - Best by end of 2017. Thanks Tommy for sharing this bottle. Split 3 ways at just below room-temp. Was stored cellar temp but is a recent release. Enjoyed in Hill Farmstead stemware.
A - Huge cork pop, I was afraid of a gusher but I caught it in time. 2 finger off-white head, is a murky golden orange, jus a little haze.
S - This is the single-greatest smelling Witbier I’ve ever had. Very yeasty, a light lemon tartness, some very interesting herbal like rosemary, lavender and peppercorn aroma. I also get a really great orange fruit juice. Orange Peel, honey, very floral.
T - This is a really great beer. I get this lovely tart grapefruit, wheat body that is totally overwhelmed by citrus, european hop bitterness. I get chamomile, lavender, lots of floral notes and the juiciest nectarine. This is really something special
M - Leaves a very tingly tongue. Great bottle conditioning with a filling mouthfeel with lots of carb. dry and effervescent.
O - Overall, there’s so much to say. It’s possibly the best witbier I’ve ever had, a great mix of so many flavors with this salad herbal that really literally makes my tongue tingle. Lovely fruitiness and the yeast is so well integrated. This might be out of this world in 5 years. seriously.

Flaska från Etre Gourmet. Gyllengul, disig, lågt skum, liknar opastörisread äppelmust. Syrlig fruktig doft med passionsfrukt, citronjuice, citronzest och lite ladugård. Frisk och syrlig, massor av citrus som både är frisk, syrlig och fruktig men även lite skalbesk i eftersmaken finns mandel och mer ladugård. Mer ett sommaröl men även nu riktigt riktigt gott.

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, wheat, orange, coriander and flowers. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long orange and coriander finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Artisanal, special witbier with weak, creamy, dense but quickly dissolving head and ochre blonde, cloudy robe. Lots of wheat in the aroma, sour apples, white bread, lemon peel, yoghurt, wet hay, vanilla, flour, banana, chalk. Wheat and flowery taste with grainy sweetishness, quickly dominated by a surprisingly sharp but refreshing acidity which dries the mouth a bit, finish reveals some aromatic hops. Its acidity, whether deliberate or not, reminded me more of a Berliner Weisse than a Belgian witbier.
