Aroma is wheat, spice and a hint of banana, hazy yellow, small firm white head, lots of carbonation. Tastes of wheat, a trace of banana, spice is subtle. Light bodied, balanced, very easy drinking, refreshing. Great little beer, very cool bottle.

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. An OK beer.

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.

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

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.
