Wittekerke Wild combines the styles of Witbier and Sour Ale: in a new technique, the microflora of the oak foeders used for Petrus sour ales is harvested and then used in the first fermentation of Wittekerke Wit. The result is a unique balance of wit beer and sour styles. It pours a hazy straw color with a white head. Aromas of tart lemon and citrus with grainy malt, oak, and earth. Taste is similar – moderately tart with green apple, coriander, and some peppery yeast.

Tap. Pours quite hazy pale golden, medium white head, creamy with nice lacing. Aroma is weird. Wheat, sour mash, oatmeal, urinal, bread. Flavor follows plus lime zest. Light sweet, light tart, medium funk. Light body. Weird. Not bad, but weird. Weird.

Sampled on draft at D’s this beer poured a murky yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was chaky, sour, dusty and lemon. The flavor was tart, sour, tangy and chalky with lemon, vinegar, pepper, pineapple and grapefruit. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.

Can from Belmont Station. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is sour and a bit lemony. Med body or nearly. It’s sour, yeasty, but essentially really "bacterial". But very, very refreshing. Almost like unsugared lemonade. Tasty. Really good.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice wheat malt with some souring vinegar. Flavor is over all pretty watery to start but there is a nice palate cleansing that hits the tongue right after the swallow. Nothing exciting here, just a wit beer with some lactic acids added to it.
