330ml bottle [as "Vleteren Wit"]. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Wheaty malty and yeasty fruity, minimally yeasty spicy aroma, hints of pear and apple, whiffs of clove, coriander, orange peel. Taste is wheaty malty and slightly spicy, quite zesty bitter, hints of coriander, a touch of orange peel, way more zesty bitterness than orange flavour, undertones of white bread, pear and apple.
Minimally creamy, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Relatively bitter and almost a tad aggressively spicy, accordingly not exactly harmonious, but fairly refreshing and definitely boring as well - decent.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Booze and bourbon with dark malt, oak, touch of raisins, caramel, light roast, cough syrup. Medium sweet, light bitter, alcohol in the finish. Body could be more full. Still nice.
