Quack-Duck (3130), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany Sep 21, 2008 bottle, Hypernova Ceské Budejovice. Hazy deep golden colour with an orange glow. Large white head. Aroma of Nivea hand creme. Full-bodied, quite spicy again with the flavour of a certain cosmetic product. Not in a negative sense, though, this is quite nice actually. Sweet and spicy with some herbal flavours and a creamy texture. Extremely unusual, but rather nice. beerledgend (919), Meadowbank Auckland, New Zealand Sep 18, 2008 Spicey corriander aroma. Cloudy light orange colour with creamy white head. Big clove flavour. Very short mouthfeel. rederic (1787), montréal, Quebec, Canada Sep 10, 2008 Slight hazy pale yellow hue, with an off-white head, yeasty, bananaish, citrus, herbal root nose, with a hint of spicy ginger root, ripe apple fruitiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, spicy, banana character, with a kind of apple juice fruitiness, with some hints of vanilla, ginger root and aromatic herbs, maybe eldelweiss and gentian flowers, leading towards a spicy kind of cinnamon finish. everettvh (34), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Sep 5, 2008 Bottle. Poured hazy gold, with a thin head that remained to the bottom of the glass. Decent lacing. Slightly skunky aroma, with green apple. Flavor was spice and citrus fruit, with lingering wheatiness.

Bottle brown, 330 ml, 12.3 P
Appearance: Pours cloudy, lemony to honey like in colour, reminding water mixed with honey and lemon juice, carbonation of the body is intensive but mild, very natural like effervescence, hed is snowy white, big, slowly decreasing to small, firm and lasting due to a very good saturation, there is quite nice lacing.
Aroma: Very fresh and lively aroma of coriander, spear mint, hints of white bread skin, unbaked dough, pastry, batter, vanilla, grains, especially whaet and gentle maltyness at the background, lime, peach, clementine, pumpkin, interesting and sophisticated cereal grains, alcohol is well hidden, very mild and pleasant with notes of whipped cream, gentle notes of powder sugar, banana and bubble gum but very natural and positive with unpasteurised accents. Clearly a good witbier.
Flavour: Front is soft and refreshing than comes some upfront sweetness, later on distinct accidity on palate, many interesting aromatic fruits, most of all peach, orange, nice tart, lemon and lime, banana and nice accents of grains especially wheat covering barley at the background, whipped cream, perfume hops, well rounded and balanced taste, white bread skin is very expressive and explicitly pronounced, gentle sweetness and stickyness from sugary - sweet accents balancing the taste, notes of dough, batter, cereal grains, bubble gum, aromatic flowery - hoppy bose.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is quite mild but with good saturation, carbonation on palate is quite lively, finish feel is mineral and very long with lingering aromatic spicy - flowery nose. It’s a good Witbier not as Spice/Herb/Vegetable as such in my opinion.
PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Hazy golden blond colour, pours with a weak head and floral aromas, banana, citrus. Taste orange, banana, lemon zest. Bov (5403), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 29, 2008 cloudy bright orange colour with a bad head retention; robust spicy aroma, mints, herbs and coriander; sweet and medium-bodied, a hint of citrusy acidity; long spicy finish - quite fresh and pleasant gilvanblight (390), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Aug 22, 2008 Orangy tan pour with a really thick buubly head. The head had no cling to it though. Strong citrus scent. A bit lemoney and spicey. A really nice taste. A bit more tart and flavourful then most Wit’s I have had. Wish I could get this here more often.
