Pours a cloudy pale yellow (almost white) with a tiny white head. Heavy aroma of corriander and citrus. Flavor is similarly spiced, with a bit of the wheat coming through. Finishes with a slight pilsner taste. Palate is thin and fizzy. This isn’t my favorite style, but overall this is a decent Wit.

From bottle. Pale cloudy yellow with a big puffy white head leaving some lacing. Citric aromas with some yeasty banana in the back. Also a hint of coriander hits the nose. Acid orange peel when first taken in mouth, some peppery coriander in the middle with a slight bitterness at the end but well balanced. Crisp carbonation and light bodied makes it highly refreshing and perfect for hot summer nights. An excellent wit which keeps a high standard.

Beautiful color, white beer. No bitterness. Faint taste of orange and corriander. Massive lacing, nice head. If this is the orginal wit bier then consider me drunk.

Good beer, but the aroma of it doesn’t make you want to drink it, neither does the appearance. Tastes much better than it smells and looks. Easy downer.

Poured from a 330ml bottle (best by 02/07/09) and served in a tumbler. This beer poured a very faint straw yellow with an even haze and a lasting two-finger thick head of fizzy white foam. Excellent retention and really nice lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of strong orange peel and clove, lemon, also some fruity banana esthers. The flavor was very wheaty and esthery. Lots of orange peel, coriander, and clove. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and refreshingly crisp. Way too easy to drink, yet quite flavorful. I’m not a huge wit fan, and I wasn’t expecting much...but this was a really pleasant surprise.
