The delicate citrus flavours, with yeast and hops overtones, contribute to a very pleasant and refreshing beer in this witbier. A decent beer.

A very nice Witbier. Light color, off-white head, and a very smooth flavor that doesn’t overpower the beer like some others of large breweries. I also like how the beer has specific drinking instructions, I don’t know why, but I like when breweries/ brewers display how they feel the beer should be enjoyed.

A wonderful Belgian witbier in my opinion considering it came from a big multinational brewery. Wonderful orange, coriander, wheat and yeasty flavors. Pours cloudy white with a nice head. To me it would be a good accompanyment to a nice fish or chicken dinner instead of a white wine. A delicious creme brulee for dessert?Ahhh.Life is good.Very drinkable and yet packed full of flavor.How do those Belgians do it time after time? A good beer!

Pours straw and opaque/cloudy. No sedimentation. Spicy orangy taste with sour notes. Good head. Very refreshing and very good for a beer that belongs to a major brewery. Very good witbeer.

Poured from a bottle, a light straw color, thin white head that disipates quickly. Not much aroma to speak of which is kind of disappointing. Flavor has the orange peel, a slightly sweet maltiness, balanced quite well with a touch of hops and yeast. A good brew. I wonder why it took so long for me to try it.
