Small short very cool 330ml bottle pours out lemon yellow with a very active fizzy head. Nose is lemon zest some brett saison notes. Taste is more of the nice lemon forward brett spice and a little tartness.

The beer comes in a completely different stumpy bottle now, which seems to be favoured by some Italian breweries. It's nice even if it does pose some problems for packaging. Pours to a gushing 10cm head. Again, will have to wait to sample... Porous medium dissipating head. Cloudy mid-yellow. Lemony, yeasty, clove, spice, sligh butter tones or something on the nose. Carbonation is the first thing to greet in the mouth. Then a good solid hit of lemon with some spice. Yeasty tones detectable. Carries over a bit to midrange but drops off quickly after. Kind of a flat lingering metallic taste. Ok but not that exciting.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, diminishing, if at all minimally lacing, white head. Rather strange aroma, initially notes of rubber and leather, shoe sole, later analysable as coriander and lemon, some nutmeg as well, whiffs of mandarine, widely disguised, wheaty malty background. Taste is spicy and slightly citrusy fruity, sweet-ish, wheaty malty basis, hints of coriander, ginger, nutmeg, a touch of lemon and mandarine. Slightly oily, watery texture, soft palate, medium, widely scattered, mildly prickly carbonation, somehow rather insipid overall. A bit weird: overspiced, not refreshing; no off-flavours, but quite unbalanced - a waste of effort.

Sehr starkes Gushing, braune Flocken in Schaum und am Glasboden, kein guter Start. In der Nase Koriander, etwas Zitrus. Im Trunk setzt sich das fort, sehr intensiv zu Anfang, schnell abebbend, im Abgang leicht bitter. Etwas zu unausgewogen, aber gut trinkbar.

11.15 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 4/2017. Pours very hazy golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, wheat, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, lemon/spices, and pale malt/honey notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, wheat, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and tart/tangy wheat on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, wheat, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, lemon/spices, and pale malt/honey flavors; with a nice malt/spiciness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and creamy/bready mouthfeel that is awesome; minimal spice stickiness or dryness. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent witbier! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, lemon/spices, and pale malt/honey flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink, with a great mouthfeel for the style. A very enjoyable offering.
