Draught. Fruity, citrusy aroma. Golden colour, light head. Head is stable enough to hold a ZBF token. Nice, citrusy, spicy flavour

Clear gold; huge, luxurious head, very dense and stable, leaving some lace. Spicey (coriander absolutely, some others) nose, and vegetable. Taste is again a coriander onslaught. This is truly unbelievable. Their Bio-witbier is gracefully devoid of coriander flavour, this one is full of it. Why, why, why? Sweet, with a light sourish edge, pickles-like, typical for many’s the Caracole product. Medium bodied, slick, well attenuated. Not their best try, I wonder why. A Troublette bio for me, please.

Not very trouble (!) pineapple-colour; fine white head, small but resisting. Superb great hops (!!) nose, nearly American. If I can smell the jute bails, I’m as happy as can be. And for a "witbier". +1 point! Very strange, finely spiced and citrus taste, lingering to lemon-lemonade end without sweetness. Retronasal, I get wheat finally. No excess coriander to be tasted, again +1 point. Light, this is the only typical witbier feature. It’s still a light beer, but it even beats the original non-bio version (!!!), which wasn’t too bad either.

Draught Fully hazy amber-olive; good yellowish head, leaving lace. Nose of diacetyl, flowery, butterscotch. Honey, diacetyl, green beer AND glue. This is one amassment of severe shortcomings. Sticky, but the beer is refreshing - at least one good thing. Whatever did the brewer think of getting this beer out of the tanks already?

Bottle. Aroma tea-like, fruity and acidic. Yellow/golden colour with unstable white head. Vinegary and citric acidity with a little fruitiness and some creamy flavour. Carbonation is plenty and refreshing. Goes down quite well.

Bottle Yellow, hazy body. White creamy head. Spare lace. Mostly diminshing head. Hoppy-yeasty aroma. Lightly bitter flavour. Very similar to the Saxo Bio - I drunk the two in a horizontal tasting.

I really like their Nostradamus but so far I have not been at all impressed with the rest of their beers. This one was sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle and poured a straw yellow color with a huge white head. The aroma was sweet and yeasty. The beer was hugely carbonated which I did not care for. The flavor was yeasty, sour tang and dry on the finish. A rather blah offering.
