Ungstrup (11711), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 15, 2005 [At GABF 2004] A hazy yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet flowery combined with notes of yeast. The flavor is primarily yeasty combined with a slight note of alcohol. Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 16, 2006 Cloudy beige colour. Aroma shows big coriander, dust-accented yeast, and a bit of pale malt. The body is firm and more or less dry. Spicy, fruity flavours atop confident pale malts. Not so brave in interpretation but solid in execution. argo0 (6284), Washington DC, USA Jul 26, 2004 (draft) Hazy golden body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, coriander, orange peel, light herbal. Taste is medium sweet (honey), coriander, some herbal. Medium-full body with semi-dry finish. harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 23, 2006 On tap at Elysian, Seattle. Cloudy orange/gold colour with lasting off white head. Lemon/wheat Belgian yeast wit aroma. Lots of fruit in mouth, tangerine/lemon, good intense fruit balanced by hop and cereal. Very zesty. Belgian wit and tripel collide. Excellent flavours especially the zesty citrus fruits. Rastacouere (5418), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Feb 5, 2006 Murky dirty golden, lasting large white head. Low aromatics once again from an elysian’s Belgian take. Sweaty, dirty yeast aromas are downed by generous spice character (ginger root) while light citrusy and herbal hops offer some comfort to a very shy malt support. Tartish lemon squash peaks in the otherwise dull estery, soapy and grainy finish. Light and oily body with unattractive regional carbonation.
