Not sure about the brewers comments, think they have looked up the definition of witbier and used it, making out it’s better than it actually is. Not saying it’s a bad beer, it’s quite pleasant. Sweet oats, a tad of honey maybe.

330ml bottle. Pours pale yellow with a medium, lasting head. Citric smell, lime. Same holds true for the taste, which is quite refreshing, but lacks depth. A bit watery.

The beer is a cloudy yellow color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, spices and wheat. Light-bodied with flavors of fruit, coriander and grainy malt. The finish is mildly spiced with a citrus aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle. Poured clear straw with good white head. Tangy fruity aroma. Palate was thin and watery, light bodied with medium carbonation. There was little flavour: a hint of honey and a tart finish. Overall, rather disappointing, especially as I like honey ales. This had too little body and flavour. Bland.

From 330ml bottle on 11/9/2010. In the glass, it looks quite similar to a Hoegaarden, with the addition of a ridiculous amount of yeast sediment. Has a mild peach and honey aroma. Peach and honey are also evident in the taste, along with a fair dash of lemon. It’s quite a sweet beer with little bitterness evident. All up, it’s a relatively subtle beer flavour wise. Not a bad effort for the style, and it would be quite sessionable, though it’s not particularly special.

Pours slightly hazy pale yellow with a large head.Nose shows plenty of orange peel, lemon, and coriander with the citrus threatening to overwhelm everything else. Malt is somewhat grainy but is mostly hidden by all the citrus.Flavours are a bit of a let-down, the initial citrus, coriander and light wheat are fine but afterwards you’re left with stale malt, sour-dough and vegetal notes.Carbonation is crazy high!

Bottle. Cloudy straw with a large white head. Aroma is mild and has hay, honey and spices - white pepper more than cloves or coriander. Taste has some lemon, a little wheat sourness, floral honey and spices. Slightly sweet with a dry finish. Like their dark ale, this is a rather softly-spoken beer with some classy depth and character. But - even given that I’m not that keen on this style - it lacks a bit of presence.
