Bottle, thanks Chris! Pours dirty golden with a small white head. Aroma of dried flowers, vinegar, slight barnyard, slight butterscotch. Flavorful! Mmm... Slight butterscotch again, with a very nice sour apple finish... tiny hints of a vinegar in there- but not a disturbing amount. I enjoy this one quite a bit... I’d have to be in the mood to drink it- but I’m sure I’ll revisit this one in the near future.

Gatorade pop pink beer with a thin white head. Sharp raspberry concentrate, almost like crystals. Horrible chemical taste, way too sweet. Barely cant taste anything else. Blahhh! Bought at Metro, Brussels, late april 2005.

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.
