Pale yellow colour, white head. Quite floral aroma, lots of citrus peel, coriander. Light wheat sour flavour, light sweet. Finish citrus peel, fruity yeast and coriander.
Quite decent wit.
(Draught @ Gasterie Ten Duinen, Koksijde. Served in a stone mug. Might be an alias for some other Huyghe beer?)

(Draught at Brasserie Lombard, Brussels, 16 July 2012) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of wheat-flour dough, citrus, bread and lemon peel. Fruity taste with citrus, white bread, dough and lemon peel. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Decent witbier, but not overly exciting.

Silver paper wrapped neck on a 330ml brown bottle (4.9%ABV), best before Dec 2013: poured into my Berliner Kindl 0.4 Litre tumbler in Mar 2012. The pour was slow, allowing the beer to leave the sediment in the bottle (I prefer it that way). Very, very pale straw body, slight haze and with bubble trails rising up towards a good deep head of white. The smell was citrusy, mild lemon and grapefruit mostly, very summery. Thirst quenching with a tangy bite of citrus flavours, better than I expected: I’m not a huge fan of this style, but this was OK. This carried the flavours well, light and easy to drink.

Bottle from Asao, nearing its Drink-by date. Fruity, yeasty nose, much ester: peach, honey, spices. You can smell the age a bit. Light pastel yellow, cloudy, with lace and floaties. Sweet fruit, peach, melon, oranges, honey, malty wheat, with a slight tangy edge. Definitely past its prime, but maybe hasn’t really dropped off much. A bit of vegetable, but mostly sweet and malty. Not enough tartness to be refreshing. A bit cloying, but drinkable and not much like a wit.

Bottled 330ml. -Hazy lemony yellow coloured, small white head that went away fast, wheaty citrusy nose. Pretty much the same in the taste, just some mild spicy and yeasty notes. Had better beers of a kind.

A hazy blonde wit with a thick creamy white head. A nice lemony banana and cloves aroma. In mouth, a nice creamy bananas and cloves, with some nice light chalky notes. Quite nice. On tap at Biloba, near Louvres Museum.

33 cL bottle. Pours unclear yellow with a white head. Classic wit aroma of coriander, citrus and wheat. Rather dry flavoured with the same notes of spice and citrus. A bit grainy in texture. Dry wheaty and mild estery finish.
