thebeertourist (2005), Oslo, Norway Feb 9, 2008 Bottle. Hazy, pale golden colour with a small white head. Bready and grassy nose. Sweet and bready flavours with some grassy hop bitterness. Spicy rye is prominent. A bit thin. Quite enjoyable. oberabcbbsok (689), Hoboken, Belgium Oct 11, 2007 Bottle, An average beer. Malty nose and some bitterness in the taste. Also a little sweet. TBone (5172), Pori, Finland Feb 12, 2006 <i>Bottled</i><br />
Pale, a bit hazy yellow color, small white head. Strong malty ryiesh nose. Flat lemonade feeling in the palate. Malty, no bitterness, rye in the flavor. I suppose this bottle was propably bad one or this spelt beer is really unbalanced. sayravai (3224), Helsinki, Finland Jan 31, 2006 (Bottled) Slightly hazy, very pale yellow color with a smallish, tight, white head. Slightly sweet, witbier-spicy aroma with hay-lemony-hoppy hints. Fresh, slightly sweet-sour flavor of wheat and lemon. Light to medium-bodied, quite refreshing palate with slightly fizzy carbonation. A quite nice and crisp witbier. JorisPPattyn (4642), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 26, 2005 Very good, dense white head; pale yellow beer with greenish shine, slight haze. Milky nose, and the aroma of raw (fresh) egg. Later a more wheaty aroma and some coriander, lightly perfumed. Citrussy, lightly perfumed taste, not unpleasant, but with a distinct déjà-vu effect. Ends still a bit spicey. Rather refreshing, light body but not watery. Another contender for the <i> "we-will-all-brew-the-same-dreary-witbier-until-you-scream" </i> concours. Seems to be obligatory for any brewer on the global beerrace, these days. Not even the worst by far.
