enough dribble i tried this at the hamilton cock and bull and really liked it.....no hold on i didn’t really like it because i don’t like belgium witbier but i thought it was a good beer for the style. the usual thing to do is compare it with hoegaarden and this stood up really well to it....i actually liked this a bit better, had more body and a little bit of sweetness to it that i enjoyed beerledgend (919), Waterloo, Wellington, New Zealand
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Hazy pale yellow colour with small white head,perhaps served too cold. Good clove and corriander flavours, a bit short though. A bit thin but not bad. TheGrandMaster (1872), Auckland, New Zealand
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Draught at the Nemarket Cock and Bull. Certainly plenty of clove and corriander spice, more interesting than the Buxom Blonde. kiwibt (51), , New Zealand
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Aroma of cloves, corrinander, orange and a slight yeast autolysis. Appearance is cloudy white/orange.
The flavour is well balanced with stronge corrinander/cloves with a orange background and witbier yeast fermentation profile.
Overall a very good example, I just feel it needs some more acidity to finish it off.
