Loud and flashy Belgian wit brewed with a German weiss yeast. The spicy acidity of lemongrass and the lime bitterness of Wakatu hops immediately dominate the stage. The shy flufiness of wheat harmonizes the citrusy lead and ends exoticaly embraced by coriander and yeast esters.

440ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly fruity and minimally waxy, hoppy, slightly spicy and minimally wheaty malty aroma, hints of melon, honeydew melon, coriander, waxy hints of orange peel. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty malty, slightly spicy and slightly fruity, minimally waxy hoppy, hints of coriander, melon, honeydew melon, waxy hints of orange peel. Minimally oily, watery texture, rather indifferent, minimally dry palate, medium to coarse, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively sweet, sadly more waxy than bitter/zesty citrusy - OK.

Take this on on tap ! Smell- weak, caramel, sweet, malt, yeast. Foam- thin, soft, some sweak bittersweet notes and some yeast. Acidic aftertone. White, medium foam. Appearance-hazy, yellow, orange color. Taste- sweetness, caramel, gingerbread, banana, yeast, some acidic tones and very faint bitterness in background. Very sweet beer, I really like it. Tried bottled but it is very different... Reducedtaste by 1, mouthfeel by one and overall by 0.2 so score for tap is 3.6 and was amazing , seems bottled it have more sourness.
