0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before August 2023. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, clove and some grains. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy taste of banana, clove, some grains and a touch of honey, followed by a short, quite yeasty-spicy, gently bitter finish. Thin to medium body, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. A solid Hefeweizen, doesn't taste like a Witbier at all. Apart from the phenols, I don't even get the coriander or the orange peel. Strange.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orange, brass colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Bready malty and spicy aroma, hints of coriander, a touch of horseradish, even whiffs of wasabi. Taste is slightly dry, bready malty and spicy, minimally diluted hints of coriander, horseradish, a very mild and diluted touch of wasabi. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Rather earthy spiciness, no hints of fruitiness, therefore only limited refreshing character - so-so.
