bottle: heffe bready with mint undertone. well balanced and complex. good session beer. euro 08 final.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Jerc, and Blankboy, Greg’s bottle. Hazy yellow, small white head. Nice aroma - lots of lemon and yeast. Great taste - refreshing lemon, lots of yeast and zest. Soft, floral, well carbonated. Simple but very well done and very enjoyable.

Hazy light orange-yellow, creamy towering head with excellent retention. Big aromas of bubblegum, banana, coriander and wheat. Flavourful palate of same, semi-sweet, delicately spicy, almost a tart finish. Maybe it was my mood, but I loved this, especially for spring!

0.33l bottle, 5.0% a/v Pours a light murky colour with an average looking white head. Smells nice and spicy, bananas and peach, very appetizing smell. The taste is not very sweet at the beginning, but quickly mellows into an excellent spice, herb, fruit sweetness, lots of bananas. Very good mouthfeel, and overall a great and refreshing wheat.

0,33 l bottle. Dark yellow color, medium big head. Very refreshing and interesting beer, mainly because it’s characteristic spicy flavors. Otherwise it tastes like an usual Weizen : fruity, yeasty, malty. Leaves an exceptionally pleasant sweet aftertaste. Nice...

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 light gold with thick white head thins quickly. Fruity yeast aroma. Very tasty, easy drinking, floral, fruit & spice blends well with a long lasting orange banana aftertaste. Surprised the scores are so low.

A really nice beer on a lazy day. Pours hazy blonde, palate is very nice with hints of citrus and hop. Very enjoyable.
