Oct ’14. On tap at Dva Tona bar, Split. It poured hazy yellow body with smaller head. Light citrus hop aroma, mostly lemon, touch of yeasty wheat malt. Only a bit bitter flavor, lightly sweet washed out banana, milkshake, very chalky - yeasty. Didn’t quite get the typical Belgian spiciness that time. Medium to thinner in body with moderately long lightly bitter finish. Just OK, might be overrating it slightly.

Bought 0.33 bottle at Svijet piva, Zagreb. Drinking at the park with Knez Domagoj and Habek. Begins with a beef soup aroma turning into banana-strawberry combo. Nice. To bitter for a wit, lavender, fruits in the aftertaste. High carbonation, full body. Not bad.

Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow collor, topped with more than decent white head that stays around. Quite strong spicy aroma, also some fruity notes there, but very gentle. The taste starts slightly sweet, but soon turns into a heavy spiciness - peppery feel. Spicy aftertaste stays quite for some time.

Huge thanks to the Dva Tona guy for bringing these for us to try! Poured a misty golden body with lively carbonation and a big white head. Creamy aroma with nice nose of citrus fruits and herbs. Slightly strange, at first, creamy, spicy, bitterish peppery-herbal note, mint, maybe sage, nicely smooth taste, good mouthfeel, the citric notes do pop up later on. Slightly perfumey, but, in the end, the most likable of their three beers for me and a good wit. Well... it’s Belgians brewing a Belgian style, who would’ve expected anything different. :)

Bottled 330ml. -from Svijet Piva Zagreb. Unclear yellow coloured, medium sized white head, soft coriander in the nose. Slight peppery and spicy, coriander and yeast with notes of hops. High carbonation. Average and nothing exciting here.
