| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Updated: Feb 10, 2009Bottle Hopduvel Gent. Pours hazy blond with a huge white head. Lots of floaties and yeast as always from this brewery. Very nice aroma, spices, peppery cloves, coriander, citrus, soap and bitter dough. Very very refreshing due to its thin watery body.
St.Bernardus wit is a tad better than this one imo. lassem (308), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Bottle 33 cl. Pours a muddy yellow with a bright white nice head. There are sediments of yeasts turning the beer into their own waterworld playground... funny but not great looking. The nose is mild with notes of apricots, pepper, soap and horse-stables. The3 taste is nice and fresh. Again the flavour is low key and mild and brings no suprises but the freshness... which is also a quality. There is notes of peaches and cream, light spicies and some yeasts. The finish is rather metalic, Very drinkable and not very demanding.. hey ho! lets pop some more. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler le 11 avril 2007.
Murky golden poor with lots of sediments. Creamy off-white head. Aromas of coriander, creme brule, caramel, apple puree, corn, lightly peppered and subtile notes of peaches. Extremely well balanced beer. I’ve never tasted a Witbier with so many flavors. A nice mixed explosion of spices and fruits. Perfect malts and yeasts as are most of the beers from this brewery. Very Satisfied!

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Bottle, from the Oxford Beer Festival. Warm copper with large yeasty chunks, (an endearing Abbaye des Rocs quirk), smallish layer of rough white head. Very subtle orange spice nose, rather low aroma volume. Bright peppery carbonation, slight dill bitterness and a bit more orange peal. Initial sweetness scrubs away nicely and leaves a little clove touch in the finish. Not the rockstar of the Abbey des Rocs line-up, but a fine beer. travita (1937), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2008 Smell is fruit, wheat, malts, spices, and lemon. Look is a golden color with a thin beige colored head. Taste is wheat, spices, fruitiness. Ok.
