Bavik Ezel Wit

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Harelbeke, Belgium

An unclear orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of hops and hints of citrus. The flavor is dry with notes of spices and oranges, as well as hints of banana.

(Bottle 25 cl) A very unusual witbier. Clear and not hazy with a rather strong alcohol. Some odd, dry sweet’n’sour notes. An off bottle? 190896

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a creamy and chalk white head. Classic belgian wit aroma of orangepeel, coriander, wheat and yeast - but also slight milky sour. Smooth flavour, again with a light milky acidity. Lingering fruity and refreshing. Lasting sour/citric and mild spiced finish. Quite nice.

Bottled, labeled "Ezel". Cloudy dark yellow. Aroma of orange and curacao. Sweet and intensely fruity with with rounded, mellow mouthfeel. Rich for a wit, but certainly not refreshing.

Hazily white/yellow. Malty, fatty, some orange aroma. A witbier on steroids.
