Dec 6, 2009 In short: A bland generic witbier
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed probably fresh. Tasting session with Montreal crew.
The look: Cloudy yellow-blonde body topped by a white ring of foam
In long: Yeasty nose with notes of banana puree. Body is slim despite a doughy texture. Taste of lemonade, bananas, some coriander and a little citrus fruits. The witbier style is not exciting to start with and this one is as generic as they come. Not bad, just very very bland. This is not a beer I would go out of my way for. Unless of course someone throws a bottle at my face.

Oct 25, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Coriander, spicy hops and curaçao form a pleasant, refreshing profile for this lean and relatively dry Witbier.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam surrounds the hazy and somewhat sunny pale yellow.
-The mouthfeel is well constructed and the flavors are very clean.
-Everything is balanced, but also quiet.
-This is a textbook example of the style and so will be hard to remember.
-Citrusy fruitiness is found within.
Bottle. Thx Mike!

Oct 7, 2009 Yellow, cloudy, tall thin foamy head. Yeast, orange, custard, icing sugar nose. Mouth is soft and somewhat creamy.... lemon and silt appear immediately followed by a sugary background with orange. Finish is dry and relatively mute.

Jul 24, 2009 Poured nicely with a consistent cloudy appearance. Color is yellow (not white) and the beer is very thin.
Tastes good, with a tingly aftertaste on back of tongue.

Jul 21, 2009 Cask@Granville Island Brewery Taproom, Vancouver. Pale yellowy beer with a weakly yeasty aroma and a yeasty, dry and slightly orangey flavour. Overall an average witbier.

Jul 9, 2009 (650ml bottle) Purchased at both BCLS Fort Street; and Spinnakers Spirit Merchant in James Bay. Both were for about $6. THis is interesting, I think its as close to a Hoegaarden as is possible without the outrageous large heavy goblets. Good coriander, nice mellow wheat mouth and very refreshing. If this was cheaper I suspect the "regular crowd" would look forward to mowing the lawn on Sundays.
