Bottled, 355ml from Sainsburys, Banbury. Clouded gold with white head, floaters. Reasonable aroma, vaguely citric with a pomaigne type touch, the flavour is also a thin citricity, some zest, sweet and spicy. There appears to be a need to get citrus notes into this at the expense of solid brewing as there is little background, the appearance of a forced beer. It’s ok, but I’m not rushing to try the other one in my garage for a while.

Pours light orange. Too sweet for my liking. Wheaty texture. Many have raved but I’ll stick to something a little more malty.

Pours a light orange with a white head. Aroma/flavour of oranges and light spices. Sort of a sweet finish. Fairly good stuff.

Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin white head.... Aroma is fairly wheaty without the usual spiciness but with a twang of orange aroma... Flavor follows the aroma, without the spiciness that defines many of the quality witbiers that i like... Medium bodied easy drinking, this is a quality beer for the masses...

Awesome beer. Light orange poor and body. You can smell the citrus before you drink this sacrament. Very good taste of orange, light drink, just all around good beer. No complaints about this beer on my end.

Light orange hazy body with a good sized white head that fully dissapears. Aroma of citrus and malts. Light bodied beer. Classic belgian flavors with an orange twist at the end. Refeshing beer Could get a little sweet if you had more than one though.
