The appearance is a very hazy, very light yellow, white head, lots of carbonation. The aroma is coriander, clove, cereal grains, orange peel. The flavor is wheaty, spicy, orange peel. The finish has a decent bittering from hops, spices, clove, orange peel. Relatively thin mouthfeel. Nice beer overall.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast and some spices. The flavour is orange, yeast, spices and wheat with some sourness. Quite thin bodied, very refreshing. Good summer beer.

Draft at Chappy’s. Tastes like someone spiked my lemonade. Not horrible, but nothing I’d go out of my way to drink. Apparently I just don’t like witbier.

Bottle @ Home

I was quite surprised to find this in the bottle shop I was at, actually; probably the only decent imported beer in there. It pours a very cloudy, pale white/yellow body with a fluffy white head; the head doesn’t last too long though. Leaves very little lacing on the glass. Has a fruity, wheaty aroma and a smooth flavour, similar to the aroma, and a fairly light body without much carbonation. An enjoyable beer.

Simply one of the very best in the world, and tops in its category. Tried on draft and from bottle. Citrus and light spice aroma with medium head mostly diminishing. Very smooth taste and excellent session beer. "Blue Moon" cannot hold a candle to this world-class brew - cheers to the Belgians once again!

Light pale golden hues, big fluffy white head. Grassy yeast aroma and some hidden citrus tones. Light body and good higher carbonation...it is what it is...

A nice whitbier, but not great. Corriander was the main flavor, some orange as well. Some bars serve it with an orange, but I pass on fruit in my beer. Out of the bottle its a little lemony, otheer citrus flavors.
