Bottle. Hazy pale golden colour. White head. Aroma is spicy with hints of yeast and coriander. Flavor is much the same as aroma, but also hints of citrus. Has a spicy finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours an unclear, pale golden with a rather tall, white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus and coriander. Rather light-bodied with plenty of fresh fruit, but quite a different fruit profile than in your typical Belgian Wit. Perhaps a wee accent of coconut? Very fresh, would be the perfect summer quencher. 270106

Cloudy yellow pour with attractive white, foamy head. Spicy aroma and flavor with hints of wheat. Notes of coriander, clove, nutmeg and cinamon. A bit of banana is hidden below the spice. Thin body and crisp finish.

Cloudy yellow-orange body, thin off-white head. Nose of coriander, banana, and orange peel. Sharp body with little evidence of barrel aging at first, starting with banana, coriander, and wheat tang. The finish is long and spicy; wood flavors also develop and leave a clean, dry mouthfeel. To be honest I expected a bit more from this beer; as it stands, this is still a solid witbier, although I wish it was fuller-bodied and more complex.

Batch 1 draught fresh at MBGSBF July 2004
Pours a very dull, hazed pale white gold. Small head, mostly disipating. Aroma of oak, wet leather, yeast, coriander. Flavor is toasty and oaky from the white oak aging, but some of the coriander and yeast breaks through and further dries out the palate. There was a bittersweet finish, some hops and light malt (honey, white bread). Didnt find much citrus (orange peel or lemon) in this one, but that’s alright. Still unsure how I feel about the oak aging. Body was medium-full, lightly spritzy.
2006 and later bottles
Much improved, though also much different with the wild yeasts being present. New score/comments forthcoming.
