250 ml bottle, as Hoegaarden Citron, thanks to tarjei. ABV is 3.0%. Very pale straw coloured, slightly hazy, big to moderate white head. Aroma of lemon and lime (as expected), also more unpleasant notes of rotting fruits and vomit. The flavour is sugary sweet and citrussy, without the zesty freshness I hoped for (considering the beer had already had the misfortune of being diluted with this citrus stuff). Nope, this is not a beer for me. Drainpour.

Bottle from an all night shop in Brugge shared with Mes. Very pale gold/green, slight haze, thin white head. Lemon and lime artificial fruit squash aroma. More like a lemon/lime soft drink. Its not disgusting. No real wheat/cereal. Sherbert sugar lemon finish. Like kiddie sweets/drink. Lemon and lime sherbert dab. Some alcohol, but its a good sheberty soft drink.

Bottled. An unclear light golden beer with a white head. The aroma has very strong notes of lemon - and nothing else gets thru. The flavor is sweet and again totally dominated by lemon.

Bottle @ home.Unclear light yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy grapefriut - lemon, lemon imitation ala lemon in cleaning soap. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration. Refreshing. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (210608)

Bottle, thx to Tarjei. A pale yellowish-white unclear beer topped by a white head. Lemony, dishwashingwater-like, artificial aroma and flavor with notes of lime. There’s a lemony finish. Sticky, watery and slightly astringent in the mouth. Someone will probably say it’s a refreshing beer, but I think the taste and aroma is bad enough to make it useless as a refresher too. (080731)

Looses points because the lemon-lime covers up the wonderful flavors you normally associate with a wit.
