Pale and opaque. Medium head in the Hoegaarden glass. Sweet and fluffy, low bitterness. There’s low level diacetyl, which shoukd never be in a witbier. And doesn’t fit. The orange and coriander need to be brighter, too…they got the malt character right, but ferm and adjuncts not there…this could be solid if they correct for batch 2.

Gold, herbaceous, slight kiwi sort of note. Lots of biscuity malt, but only moderate bitterness. Almost a non-alc wortiness to this.

Slight haze. Dullish pale. Spicy, slightly weedy hop that finishes like grapefruit…interesting. Malts aren’t great, though, and that’s suboptimal.

Quite pale. Opaque. Floral, orangey, a bit honeyish. But it’s a bit thin. Lowish bitterness but also hop burn.

Medium brown. Thin head. Toasty, a touch of toffee sweetness. Medium bitterness. Maybe roast but it’s light and gives off porter vibes for me.
