Following the substantial demand for “wittekes” or white beer in the mid-Eighties, we decided to develop our own version of this beer style. We use regional hops from Poperinge, as well as ungerminated wheat and several herbs for the specific identity of this cloudy beer.

Strong sent of Belgian yeast and a touch of spice, not a lot of weight behind it. The appearance is a golden yellow. Taste is verging on bland, a bit of pepper and spice, slight banana. Mouthfeel was dreadful, very thin and watery. A poor effort.

25cl bottle from La Maison Belge, Puerto de la Cruz. Pours hazy pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, citrus, spices and wheat. Sweet with a light sourness and a slightly dry, citric and spicy finish. Light and refreshing. Quite nice wit. Refreshing and easy to drink.(2013-01-05)

Bottle from Tomlinson’s, Inverness 071212
Light lemon white, hazy, big frothy white head, good lacing
Aroma - soft lemon, some orange, sugars, touch of an aromatic floral note, some fruity creaminess, good aroma
Taste - light lemon and orange, soft spices, light wheat, soft creamy floral, light flavour, fairly thin on flavour. The flavour is less intense than the nose.
Palate - medium carb, light body, creamy texture. Finish is rather dry.
Overall - The flavour here is a bit too subtle - so overall it comes across as fairly bland

250ml bottle. Pours a hazy light gold with a medium head. Aroma is mostly coriander with a little wheat. Taste has a lot if coriander. Not that complex, some wheat also but full in the mouth and easy to drink.

Pours pale gold with a small white head.Nose shows doughy wheat and soft orange peel.Pretty spicy flavours, lots of orange peel, a bit of wheat, also some musk. Too light on to support the amount of spice.Body seems a little watery, could use more carbonation too.
