Belgian style witbier with a twist - namely the non-traditional addition of pink peppercorns - produced by a local English craft brewery in collaboration with the trappist brewery that gave us Tynt Meadow, though I could not find anywhere what exactly the latter participant's contribution was; in any case this is already their second collab, after a bitter (Quintus) that was brewed in the abbey. Can bought from a private collector, shared with tderoeck and Meeki. Firm but slowly opening, snow white, lacing head on a misty yellow blonde beer with grass-greenish tinge. Aroma immediately filled with pink peppercorns (or pepper in general - I was thinking crushed white peppercorns at first to be honest), coriander seed, dried lemon peel, flour, green pear, white bread, whiffs of grass and field flowers. Sweetish onset, touches of banana and pear, minerally carbonated with smooth, slick 'wheatiness', dimly sourish but hardly soapy in this case, balanced by white-bready barley malt and spiced emphatically by the pink peppercorns, blending in with the coriander seed and the dried citrus peel - aromatically overpowering them, sure, but not making the finish too peppery, at least not for me. Floral hops add a touch of bitterness, too, perhaps a bit more than is typical in a witbier, but matching well with the pink pepper, both adding body and fullness to the finish. Interesting and unexpected take on the old witbier formula.

Little cloudy yellow blond beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: white pepper, rose water, rose petals, very floral, soapy impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: some orange peel, sweet touch, slightly acidic, floral notes, lots of red peppercorns, pretty complex, very nice. Aftertaste: a little sweet, lots of pepper, red pepper corns, a bit fruity, some orange peel, soapy, lots of coriander, decent enough!

440ml can from Mount St Bernard's Abbey, Coalville - hazy gold, rocky white head. Orangey wheat notes, savoury herbs, peppery hints, fresh and clean. Tasty number this.

440ml can bought from the Offie and drunk at home. Light cream/yellow, mostly clear with a medium-sized white head. Delicate floral aroma, a little bit of lemon zest. A little bit sweet, slightly soapy, following ro a dry finish. Very gentle body with medium to heavy carbonation. Notes of citrus and ground coriander in the finish. Its trally good but very - almost too - subtle.

Draft at Beerheadz Lincoln. Hazy pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are light floral wheat and citrus. Slight tart. Medium body.
