Medium light-beige head over hazy dark amber-brown beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Warm, dark malts; hint of chocolate and garden herbs, leafy. Some nondescript herb or spice - warming up, I’d guess coriander; generally rather neutral smelling, except for the malt-sweet hints. Bitterish-sweetish flavour; spicy as in speculoosherbs. Dry finish. Again dark(er) malts (and yeast) determining the overall flavour. Seems well-attenuated. Watermelon, warming up. Feels pretty carbonated, very slight burning sensation, medium bodied. Certainly not bad, but a bit - neutral? I like that this one is qualified as an "abbey tripel". In a competition as WBC, let alone for BJCP, it would be thrown out on sight because of its colour. And I think Ratebeer has it right!

33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy murky yellow, full sized white head. Smell malts, citrus and hops. Taste malts, a bit wet hops, grassy hops, blossom, lightly bitter. Very pleasant. Medium body, low to medium carbo.

Bottle thx to the benzai. Hazy yellow colour with a huge white head. Smells hoppy, some light herbs, sweetish, nice. Tastes slightly hoppy, fruity, fresh, some herbs and nice. Quite a good beer! I’m surprised by this one. Great carbo, medium body.

Hazy orange-yellow colour, firm white head. Fruity and floral aroma, elderflower, light honey, pronounced yeast. Light bitter, light sweet flavour. Short finish.
Solid beer, nice to see a wit without the obligatory coriander seeds for a change.
(From 33cL bottle @ Cafe We Gaan Beginnen, Nijmegen)

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Distinct elderflower aroma. Dryish and light bodied, crisp and grainy. Juicy and elegant. Witbier with depth and a unique touch.

Towering, very dense & fine, light yellow head, leaving lace over fully hazy orange-yellow beer (looks for all the world like a Hefeweizen). Very nice, outspoken flowery nose, with obvious elderflower - and do I detect Nelson Sauvin? Certainly fine hops, slightly citrussy/lemonblossom. Fruity and again noble hoppy flavours, lightly bitterish, citrussy and also spicy (like mustardpowder or galanga) - no doubt the elderflower. Quite spritzy, refreshing, wheatslickness, light to medium bodied. Excellent for the first real commercial try.

More UFO’s than beer (colour of orange juice) under the medium high, dense white head, gone after a minute or so. Sourish grainy nose, milky and milkripe grain. Dry, with a sourish finish of every sip. Faintly spicy and distinctly bready. Finish has something of the preserved ginger, served with sushi. Refreshing, spritzy, light. Huge points for originality, and certainly not bad at that (am I Antwerpener, or not?). If only the looks - and I’m not a particulary harsh judge in that particular field... Many thanks to Stef C.!
