Hazy amber body, medium clumping off-white head. Strange aroma, toasty, with toffee and hints of butterscotch, in addition to musty funkiness (a bit of brie cheese rind, sour) that develops more fully after letting the beer settle in the glass. Sour body with stale crackers, bread, and grassy hops, the sour punch concealing a rather thin malt backdrop. Some balsamic vinegar and cheese rind in the mix, which is never a bad thing. A bit different than the darker, fruitier "red" versions of the style, but this has just the right kick for me.

Paid $1.49 for an 11.2 oz can at Whole Foods, Charlottesville. Pours light golden yellow with a decent white head. Smells of cheapish beer, yeast, and not much else. Flavor is surprising, since it’s not nearly as bad as I had expected. It’s light and inoffensive, though not sucking me in to buy more. Honestly, I’ll probably never have another, but if someone bought me one, I could drink it without gagging.

Bottle. Strong clove/banana aroma especially for a witbier. Pale yellow color - cloudy with moderate head. Moderate malt flavor - little fruit or spice flavor - bland and on the watery side. A very light witbier.

Hazy red-bonk, small reddish head. Quite fresh rasberry aroma, but lemonade-like. Sweet rasberry juice flavor, sugary (saccarine), in the finish artifical plastic notes. Harshness in the aftertaste . "Beer" for kids.

Typical witbier outlook: hazy yellow-orange color, creamy small white head. Wheaty aroma with lemon and coriander plus hints of skunked hops just after opening the can. Interesting range of spices: coriander, clove mixed with lemony dish water and sugar. Interesting witbier, but do I like it? Not so much.

(Bottle 25 cl) Brown, clear beer with a small off-white head. Nose of roasted malt and sugar. Although this has artificial sweeteners it doesn’t come out chemical or artificial. Thanks to that this is a pleasant and easy to drink table beer. 080599

(Bottle 25 cl) Damned be the artificial sweeteners. If it hadn’t been for them this would’ve been close to the perfect fruit-beer. Now the sticky, artificial sweetness detracts so much. Damned.... Pours hazy pink with a slightly pink head. Very marked - yet fresh - raspberry aroma. Distinct raspberry flavour with a rather high underlying tartness. But as said, the sweeteners are a bit too present. Does this really have Petrus Aged Pale Ale added??? 290905
