Bottle from somewhere.
A: clear golden, thin, off-white head.

T: sour lemon zest & juice, soap, spicy coriander.
F: tart lemon zest, soap, spices.

Supposed to be 7.5%, not noticeable. Very weird all in all, lacking focus stylewise. Something like a Belgian Radler?

Bottle from a gift.
A: clear dark golden, stable, foamy, off-white head.

T: sweetish apple & unripe pear, bitter straw, bready malts.
F: bitter grassy hops, yeast, touch of grapefruit.

Decent bitter bite, never really venturing into New World hop territory but solid as a Belgian IPA. Just needs a bit more finetuning.

Very messy, not really Wit-like; probably past its best, if it was even decent to begin with...
