0,5l can. Pours hazy yellow with frothy white head that goes away fast, some lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and very fruity hop notes. Very light almost watery body with medium carbonation. Taste is sweet wheat with a lot of ester banana, coriander, a bit yeasty, strong fruity nectar aftertaste. Very mild bitterness. Way too sweet for me.

Can, 0.50, courtesy of ex co-workers. Pours hazy pale golden color with thin soapy white head and soft visible carbonation. Aroma is grassy, grainy, weedy, slight citric and metalic. Taste starts medium sweet grainy, follows by citrus, herbs and vanilla, while finish is mild bitter. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Simple thirst quencher, but more witbier alike...

Pours a hazy straw yellow color, topped with a big white frothy head, ok lasting. Mildly grassy aroma, some chalky notes and fruitiness in the back. Taste starts medium sweet with some fruity feel. Mild bitterness with some metallic aftertaste. Light body. Drinkable.

Pours hazy pale yellow color with short lasting white head. Refreshing smell of malts, hops and citrus fruit. Thin to medium body with vivid carbonation. Watery texture. Taste is balanced between bitter and sour. Aroma of hops, citrus, malts, herbs and spices, coriander and some yeast. Very interesting brew, it’s like they mixed some elements from IPA and witbier into it. The end result is very tasty and very refreshing brew. Excellent beer for hot summer days. Give this one a try.

Bottle contributed by and shared with OSG at OSB 06.04.16. Hazy straw colour. Persistent and dense off-white head and lacing. Spices, herbs, flowers and bananas in aroma and taste. Complex, while quaffable.

50cl can from Solaris, Tallinn. Pours hazy yellow with a fairly large, white head. Floral, soapy and fruity aroma with notes of citrus, pale malt and yeast. Surprisingly floral and almost lemonade like with a mild bitterness. Medium to moderate sweet with mild fruity, floral flavours. Fair enough, but nothing I would get excited about.

Can (BB 13.01.17). Pours straw-golden with whiteish head. Aroma is wheat, spices, corriander, fruits, soap, oily notes. Flavor is sweet and soapy, slightly bitter, fruits, spices, some oily notes. Finish has touch of bitterness and more spices. Overall: I am a fan of witbiers and this is decent example (don’t like the oily notes tho). I’m not sure why they decided to call it american blonde ale or how they managed to brew it just from barley malt (wheat isn’t listed as ingredient on the label), but the end result isn’t bad at all. Update: newer batches have been less witbiery. Still not bad bang for buck (price/quality) ratio....

Pours pale, whitish yellow, bit of artificial-looking foam. Aroma of sweet wheat, bit of cloves and wet cardboard as well. Taste is pretty simple with coriander, wheat sourness and something plasticky. Overall, actually not bad, can drink it, although this plasticky undertone is not my favourite. Even has some bitterness coming out in the linger. Not a fail but just not my favourite style.
