Can from Beer52 at 5.5% ABV. Cloudy, golden with a thick, white head. The aroma boasts floral notes, banana, cloves, and a touch of acidity. The taste is similar, but the banana is less pronounced. A dry finish with a hint of tannin. Tasty and unusual, pleasant and refreshing.

9/8/2025. Can shared at ITFC beer share. From Beer52. Aroma is herbal, burnt rubber, wheaty, banana, coriander, clove, orange. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, touch tart. Light bodied, watery, average carbonation. Okay.

[33cl can from Beer52 at 5.5% ABV, brewed in the EU for Sunmai.] A hazy amber pour with a thick white head; fruity aroma with a touch of coriander; fruity taste - I've no idea what Osmanthus tastes like, but this reminded me of Hibiscus tea; then a dry finish with a touch of tannin. Tasty and unusual, but I don't think I'd try it again.

330ml can from Beer52 (5.5%ABV, brewed and canned in the EU). Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass at home on 4th July 2025. White affair for a head, cloudy dull amber body. Belgian yeasty aroma and taste with a banana on the side. I actually enjoyed this; I'm not usually a huge fan of Belgian Witbier styled brews, even the Belgian ones!

330ml can. Hazy dark gold with wispy white top. Aroma of banana, clove, cereals. Taste of banana, clove, some tart fruity esters, good dose of bitterness. Light to mid bodied, slick yet a drying finish. Ok.

ABV seems to now be 5.5%
Hazy dark slightly murk golden colour, fluffy white head
A - Spicy esters, slight banana and clove
F - banana and clove are there but not too prominent, theres also something else going on which I guess is the osmanthus
Theres a fair bitterness
I'm not a bit fan of Wit beers but this one is pretty nice

On tap at Sunmai, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Nose is full of that strange flower, with light berries. Flavour follows through, with floral notes, gentle stone fruit sweetness, and hay. Mellow and restrained. Okay.
