Captain Cooker White Manuka Beer

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast and a light spiciness. Light body, slightly citric and spicy. Some yeast and lightly astringent finish. 041009

A Mes rate. Draught at Brugge fest. Pale yellow with a good white head and nicely conditioned.. The aroma is that of a decent fruity wit with a lovely hint of tea tree and some pleasant lemon and spice along with the typical Belgian coriander notes. Similar flavour. The spice is good and the coriander makes for something really drinkable. Enjoyable and palatable. Would make some interesting fish batter I reckon. An interesting take on a typical Belgian style.

Bottle: Poured a golden color. The aroma is spicy and orange peel. Taste is spicy with pepper and corriander, some wheat.

Huge white dense head, leaving fluffy rings over clear golden beer. Spicy nose, garden herbs, hints at coriander, ginger and green fruit or ditto tomatoes. Generally very discreet. Rather oppressive spicy-peppery taste, going over in duller vanilla and mannah, lavender - in reality no doubt the manuka leaf. A bit obtrusive, not discreet tastewise at all. Very spritzy, titillating MF. Reasonably refreshing, lighter body. Not really my taste, but interesting it is certainly. At the very least, it changes seriously from the usual coriander tisanes.

chiara schiuma molto buona ma piuttosto grossolana e disretamente persistente note speziate erbacee leggermente agrumate acidule in bocca buona bevalegemente speziata poco luppolata abbastanza rinfrescante una nota piuttosto dolce

Bottle, 33 cl. Last sunday @ home. Thx tot BoBoChamp (Hopduvel) Hazy yellow color, with good snowwhite head. Aroma, spice/herbs (Manuka leafs ?), some wheats tints. Medium body. Taste some malts, not the typical wheatbeer, more herbs and spice, nice bitterness. Special but good brew.

33cl, new brew Anno 2008, Belgian White with manuka, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, yet complex, balanced, cloudy, rocky head, good brew

From bottle at Bierpassie Weekend, Antwerpen. Pale golden with a medium head. Fruity and spicy aroma that repeats in the mouth. A bit fat for a wit. Drinkable.
