Light, good carbonation, but funky wheat aroma (still trying to gravitate from IPA to wheat); you can taste both the sweet and sour as the description says. Excellent with a lemon and some seafood. I rarely give a 5 for palate, but this deserves it.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy whitish yellow color with a small, foamy white head. Lovely aroma of very sweet citrus, orange and is slightly spicy. Flavor is really well balanced, with a definite sweetness, quite some nice spiciness and a slightly bittersweet finish. My favorite Belgian white.

This beer smells better than it tastes. 12 oz. bottle to pint glass. Pours golden with a white, short-lived head, some lacing. Initial impression of anise then citrus. A little too sour-dry for my tastes. Palate is refreshing and light, wish it tasted as good as it feels, smells and looks.

Faint aroma of orange and citrus. This beer brings a strong orange cream taste but still maintains it beer integrity with a slightly hoppy finish.

2008-06-01, Göteborg, bottle Grumligt, citrus, törstsläckande. Smakar gott på flaska som på tapp. Fick tag på orginal 1/2 l glaset "blommkrukan" i Danmark. Otroligt vad öl smakar gott i orginalglas? Glöm inte att vända upp och ned på flaskan försiktigt innan servering!

Brilliant summer beer. Refreshing and complex enough to keep oneself entertained. Citrus brut flavours with bready yeast. There are better out there, though, when it comes to wheat beer (or beer in general).

Light golden color, medium white head with a lemon bopping in and out of it. Aromoa of citrus and hay with a light sour taste. Light body and short finish. Went well with the flounder I ate.

Beautiful pour: a kind of yellow with a very little amount green tint to it. A lot of white foam every time I’ve had it. Aroma of some citrus... in fact, a lot of citrus. Taste, sweet but not overbearingly so. A touch of bitterness counters the sweetness... the citrus fruit notes are of the fruit’s core: not much rind-like bitter flavoring here. The orange peel the label mentions makes itself known, however. The aftertaste is like that of bubblegum, minus the time you spent chewing it "after the flavor is gone." Very refreshing. At only about 5 percent alcohol, I can see myself probably picking it up during the summer.

bottle. Poured straw coloured and cloudy with a thin white head. Strong tart citrus, yeasty aroma. Watery texture. Flavour is a bit sour with notes of corriander and banana.
