Draught Good white head over trouble orange beer. Fresh-spicy smelling, quite some citrus in the finish. Obvious coriander in the mouth, other dry spices’ flavours, fake citrus, and a touch of bog myrtle. Quite fizzy MF, bit burning finish, slick but a bit watery. OK, but very classical witbier.

Very dense, creamy head over red-foxy beer, well-carbonated. Sweetish, roasted malts nose, with flowery/fruity notes, as from rosehips. Slightly oxydized, bit roasted, sweet-sourish, and again flowery; spiced with obvious coriander. Light body, lightly spritzy. It would even be refreshing with just a tad less restsugars. Well - yes. God knows where it was brewed - this one in Ecaussinnes, but since then?
