The aromas are wheat malt and spice. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, with good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Good body and finish follows flavors. Not bad.

The trappist monks at Spencer started out with the Belgian idiom back in 2013, then ventured into more Anglo-Saxon style beers, and finally returned to Belgian style brewing with this witbier. Tasted from a can at Tournée Trappiste. Snow white, moussy, small-bubbled and creamily lacing, but quickly opening head; clear, warm pale orange-tinged peachy golden robe with lively sparkling. Aroma of bread crust, dried orange zest, biscuit crumbs, drying grass, unripe peach, apple peel, light honey touch and some very vague ‘rusty’ oxidation already setting in. Fruity onset in a sleek, only subduedly sweet way, apricot, apple and light banana, lively carbonated even with minerally, bit stingy effect; smooth, slender bready malt core, bread crumb- and dry biscuit-like with wheat-slick edges, gently spiced with a mellow dried orange peel zestiness and agreeably lingering floral hop bitterness, making for a somewhat ‘bittersweet ending’ with some breadiness at the back. Pleasantly drinking wheat ale with a Belgian twist in the form of dried orange peel spicing, an ingredient used in Belgian wit since the late sixties, but strangely looking less ‘white’ than the Spencer Premium Pilsener we had next to this one… In any case an elegant, refreshing and fruity wheat beer, delivering what it promises.

11/VI/22 - 1 Pt. can @ Tournée Trappiste (Oostvleteren), BB: n/a, canned: VII/4/21, batch: B53 (2022-681) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing today’s beers!

Clear blond to light orange beer, creamy white head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of banana, bubble gum, a little malty, sweet impression, more rip banana. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: a bit malty, wheat notes, gentle acidity, some banana, a bit of bubble gum. Aftertaste: malty, grains, a little bitter, malty, banana peel, decent, but lacks some coriander. More of a German weizen than a belgian Witbier if you ask me.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is more hefe than wit. Clove and banana all over the place. Flavor is more clove and i do get some orange peel. FInish is silky smooth. Decent beer but again this leans more into German Hefe than Belgian wit, not that that is a bad thing.

Can. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Belgian yeast, wheat, coriander, orange. Very tasty.
