It is an average wheat beer, refreshing, wheat, banana side, yellow troubled, one of the first beer that I drank in Geneva, a long time ago, when I was living in the Ferrier street, one of the first beer, a bit different of the blonde, at this time of the year 2000/2001

Omiyage from my friend’s trip to Switzerland. Really nice organic blanche, and pairs surprisingly well with my Creole-style dirty rice.

hazy golden colour, huge, though not too stable head; aroma of coriander, orange peel, some dried apricot, bread, slight banana and yeasty notes; taste has the same notes with syrupy-caramel dominance; correct one

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Bottle looks very simple but good. Beer in the glass not too zippy, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts fine malty, light yeasty. Fruity hints of apricot, mild sweetish. Finish well balanced, still mild. Quite drinkable. Not bad.

330ml bottle, from Eric's Christmas box of Swiss beers. Thanks Eric, even though you're unlikely to read this. Pours a hazed gold, frothy white top. Familiar, fresh witbier aromatics. Taste brings light flora, light grain, light spice, decent wit notes. Nothing to dislike about this, even if it's a little basic. Good table wit.
