14/II/2012 - 75cl bottle @ Klaas' place - BB: 13/VI/13 (2012-123) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!

Clear green beer (?), small white head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: all marijuana upon opening the bottle, seriously. In the glass more of the same, accompanied by lemon and green herbal aromas. MF: soft carbon, light body. Taste: very sugary sweet, herbs, lime, lemon, lemon zest, soapy. Aftertaste: sweet, bit fruity, little bitter. Didn't finish.

A hazed blonde wit with a thin white head. In aroma, nice juniper berries, and woody extract, grassy, strawberries, a bit oxidized. In mouth, a sweet light banana malt with dryish character, a bit of oxidation, light cloves and juniper, not bad.

With Ogi & Maja. Unnatural pale green body, tiny white head. Skunk attack, Tuborg Green class, as Ogi put it, when it was poured, but the aroma turned to be vaguely herbal, soft, sticky, sweet and dull. Joy! Taste? Sweetish creamy, vaguely tart shit. Bready, kinda. Not offensive, mind, and if I didn’t have a good genepi beer just before, I would’ve rated it higher, maybe, it’s gimmicky, too gimmicky and tastes like a sweetened pale lager.

Bottle, 10C. Very pale orange with a white head that soon vanishes. Aroma of oranges, hay, light dough. Sweet with lots of oranges, slightly sticky despite being quite thin-bodied. Slight bitterness and herbs at the end. Odd - like a mixture of a pilsener and a Belgian blond. Subtle and quite refreshing for something so sweet.

Bottled 750ml. -from Auchan Torino. Slight cloudy yellow coloured, small white head that went away fast, fresh citrusy nose. Wheaty, yeasty and light watery with pleasant notes of coriander. Short spicy finish. Refreshing but a bit too mild.

Croatian November ’11 RB tasting, Ogi’s bottle. Poured a misty pale ochre body. Dusty soapy nose, fruity and malty, yet nice! Fruity soft lactic taste, agrumey. All in all, a very good wit.

Bottle looks a bit complex. Beer in the glass not very zippy, small head. Nice fruity aroma like apricots. Starts mild, modest sourish, mild fruity. Finish again mild, almost washy, modest spicy. Nothing special.

Originally rated March 2008. Thanks to Drisse for bringing this one back from France. Pours a blonde colour until the bottom of the bottle is shaken, and then becomes cloudy. The carbonation is composed of big bubbles which I found different. The head is white, small, disappears fast and hardly any lace remains. The orange zest is what I smell the most in here, with some of the witbier yeast. The taste is pretty nice and refreshing with a nice balance of the orange, corriander and yeast. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but this makes this one more drinkable.

Originally rated April 2008. Merci à Driss d’avoir ramener celle-ci de France. Wow ! Powerful perfume nose, right away at pour and very nice. Golden-orange in colour with a light touch of pink. The head is small, white, and leaves a little ring around the glass. Big bubbles form at the bottom of the glass. Best before date on back label reads: 24 JUL 08. The nose actually reminds me of the cognac beer called X.O. also from France. And I love that beer and its aromas. This beer contains a fruit, like a berry, called "airelle" which is interesting. The taste is quite interesting too, and the corn described as an ingredient in here, is evident in the finish. Very well refreshing... so overall, a nice different fruit beer.

Bottled. Clear brownish amber, brief head. Spicy hop aroma. Dryish with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Faint caramelly flavour, well covered by spicy hops. Balanced bitterness. Pretty good.
