Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 2, 2009 In short: A big thick doughy Belgian wheat beer. Nourishing more than refreshing. Good.
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed fresh a few weeks after purchase
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a medium white head with medium retention.
In long: Nose is very yeasty with notes of oranges, bananas and corn. Body is full, very full. I like full body beer but this one like many very big wheat beer becomes very doughy, too full imho. Taste is a big wheat dough (breakfast muffin-like), lemon, bananas, minerals, yeast. Typical witbier coriander and friends spices. Something about the yeast and/or wheat makes it a very mouth drying saliva sucker. Floral hops adds a little complexity. No alcohol presence at all. Too doughy to be refreshing. You might be disappointed if you are opening this bottle expecting a refreshing witbier but it can be satisfying if you feel like a big thick Belgian wheat beer with a body fuller than a sumo wrestler’s lunchbox. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 29, 2009 bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, golden color with fruity spice aroma, flavors have some citrus and wheat, decent lasting finish ruffhauser (27), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 21, 2009 Good to start off with, but gets a little tiresome at the end. Alcohol is well hidden. TimE (1300), Tokyo, Japan Oct 13, 2009 Chalk white head over a light golden brew. Very much straight forward Wit with coriander, orange peel and a touch of cinnamon. The body is full. A touch sweet, but very well balanced and very refreshing for such a high ABV. Very enjoyable. travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 12, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, golden color, and has a white head. The smell is yeast, citrus, spices, and sweet. The taste is sweet, nice, citrus, and yeast. GardenGabe (125), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 2, 2009 Pour is a cloudy straw with a robust white head, which is dense soft and very long lasting. Prodigious lacing. Nose is sweet, with notes of honey, coriander, and citrus (orange, and lemon). Taste is spicy, yeasty, and a touch hot. A moderate hoppy bitterness is right on. Feel is medium body with great coating. Birdiebeagle (777), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 2, 2009 Bottle form my friend Bob Pours a hazy gold with a generous white head.

Bright white head with excellent retention leaves spider lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Creamy wheat and coriander aromas. Thick with sweet caramel turning to dough in the lasting finish.
