drpimento (534), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jul 28, 2007 Very nice beer! Got this as a gift from visiting Englishman Vinnie. Thanks man! Poured with a nice head that mostly faded and some lace. Clear gold color. Light hoppy aroma. Seems fresh. Good malty flavor offset by american style hopping. Light body. Session beer. Wish I could get more. Good finish! DruncanVeasey (1814), No. 46, Leicestershire, Belgium Mar 6, 2007 Very intriguing. There’s nothing remotely ’quintessentially English’ about this, but I like it immediately. Pale gold pour with well-retained white head.The nose has an evocative whiff of the Belgian about it, with an unmalted barley fruitiness reminiscent of Vlaskop, Haecht or Witkap Pater Singel. Sniffs of pineapple, grape, melon and spice. Always that nibble of ginger lurking in the background. Flavour doesn’t quite realise its promise, but is still a quenching balance of tangy citrus, perfumey floweriness and hop biitterness. Embarrasses rival brewers’ attempts to capture the refreshing fruitiness of a Wit in a beer that doesn’t completely abandon its hoppy English heritage. Tasty,unusual and refreshing. johndoughty (1692), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Dec 31, 2006 Bottle. Golden, hoppy and slightly perfumed. Bitterness appears after a while. Interesting and refreshing. Taste profile on the label that is fairly accrate and obviously aimed at a more sophisticated beer drinker. Nice. nwilder (36), Denmark Aug 14, 2008 It pours a sparkling warm golden with a choppy white head. The aroma is quite unique. Lots of light fruit notes like peach, pineapple and pear mixed with a floral element and bit of caramel and golden toast. In the mouth, it starts with a moderate caramel sweetness and a lot of carbonation for an ale of this type. As it progresses, the fruit flavors grow big and vibrant and then subside giving way to a dry finish with a slight herbal bitterness at the end, leaving the fruit notes to linger. Enjoyit (1120), Vadum, Denmark Apr 9, 2008 Clear golden with a nice foamy head. An aroma of citrusflowers and hops. A fresh flavor with citrus and hops. Not many notes of malt.
