Bottle from De Bierkoning. Well, something went terribly wrong here. Pours cloudy yellow/orange, white head. Aroma of glue, grain, very harsh and not pleasant. Flavour had the same notes, making this a drainpour. Need to re-rate someday.

Bottle, pours deep cloudy orange/brown with a medium white head. Aromas of hops, pine, orange and yeast. Creamy mouth brings a sweet and sour flavor of orange juice, ends dry with a lingering fresh hop finish. Very drinkable.

0.75 l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado - huge thanks! It is certainly great to see new Belgian beers being imported in Croatia. This poured a pretty, murky honeyish body completely riddled with big particles and with a huge thick head that went away at a medium pace. Lactic nose, herbal notes of orange, soft honey. The taste starts of nicely, orange, dust, bread, sweetish. Light presence of alcohol. Gets better later on and notes of banana soap and weak bubblegum start to show. Chalky. Reminded me a lot more of a German than a Belgian wheat. Refreshing and dryish. A good wheat beer indeed.

Flowery, fragrant aroma of honey, lemon, clove, wheat malt. Rich and big, a bit sweet. Bright, golden color, clear with huge floaties. Clean, sweet flavor of fruit, spice. Very rich and tasty. Thick, rich palate but quite clean. Excellent. The best Wit I have tried.

Bottle. Deep golden, hazy - some floaties visible, stable off-white creamy head. Quite solid sweetish-orangey nose, moderate sweet-sourish flavour, medium bodied. The moderate orangey-sweetish finish is rounded by some tartness. Good, solid stuff..........

Bottle. Hazy, amber coloured, clumps of yeast visible, stable beige head. Sweet raisins, caramel and discreet hops in the nose. Solid sweet flavour, medium to full bodied. Sweet fruity finish with a balancing bitter hoppy aftertaste. A bit too sweet for my liking..........
