Our Belgian-style Wit – a style thankfully saved from extinction by Pierre Celis in the 1960s – is brewed with the classic aromatic additions to make it a refreshing yet flavoursome beer. The orange zest, crushed coriander seed and gentle spicing used in the brew lend themselves to drinking alongside fish dishes. Our favourite combination of summery flavours is Wallbanger paired with fish tacos.

Bittersweet, citrusy. Smooth tasting. Also has a light herbal taste and some yeast in the finish.

330ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines: BBD 25 Apr 16. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru badged tulip at home on 14 Jul 15. I used to like the occasional Harvey Wallbanger in my formative years and was hoping this might have the same attributes: luckily it does not, although there is a strong orange influence within the beer (but no Vodka or Galliano flavours). Cloudy light orange in body colour, film and collar for a topping. Yeast orange aroma with a taste similar, a little tartness but not really sour or cheek puckering. Not a huge fan of this beer style, but this is one of the best I have actually had.

Bottle@Railway, Streatham, London - golden pour with white head. Grassy and slight floral hoppy aroma and taste, light yeast, some citrus notes, easy drinking, ok. ---Sent via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy golden orange, no head really. Nose - oranges primarily, no sign of the usual coriander. Taste - more of the same. Some spice in there too but not coriander - more like white pepper. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a fairly balanced tangy finish. Overall - enjoyable enough.

Bottle picked up at Jack’s, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, Saturday 25th October 2014 consumed the same day. Pours very pale gold, merest of haze, slim white head. Soft in mouth, dusty taste, yet note pretty fresh from bottle dates. A little sweet, wheatiness with a little sweetshop fruitiness. Whilst wheat ain’t my favourite beer style I was still expecting much, much better than this. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

330ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity aroma has notes of lemon and orange, hints of orange zest, an unspecific herbal touch. Taste has a juicy, fruity basis with notes of orange, initially hints of lemon, later a cumulating bitter herbal touch. OK.

Bottle shared at RBESG 2014 Grand Tasting. Opaque yellow color, decently sized white head. Smell and taste wheat, some herbs or spices, a bit sweet. Well, I don’t like it. Not my thing I guess.
