Bottle at home shared with Laura. Clear darker golden color, medium to full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, yeasty, grape peel soft tart and wood. Typical blonde beer aged on red wine barrels. Exactly what you could expect.

Bottle at home. Clear golden color initially, cloudy after pouring in the last bit of the bottle, huge foamy white head. Aroma is that typical witbier smell I'd say, lemon-ish and refreshing. Flavor is similar: wheat, lemon, somewhat bitter. High carbonation. Solid witbier.

Apimed medovina orecha

Bottle at home. Clear a bit pale golden color, no head. Aroma is heavy honey, boozy and walnut strangely enough. Okay now that I've actually looked at the label it's not so strange after all, it is in fact a walnut mead 😂😂. I'm quite impressed tbh, good job getting that flavor in. It's also in the flavor, nicely mixed with the sweetness and honey. Alcohol better hidden in the flavor. Pleasant one. I like it. 8-6,5-7,5-8-7,5

Can at home. Hazy ugly yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is very citrusy. Flavor is similar. Heavy on the citrus hops. Okay but not really my favorite.

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe noorden Tasting 2025". Amber color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are very weird: wheat, soapy and liquorice in a mix. Very odd. in the end it could be worse though.
