Bottle from Beermerchant. Hazy pale golden with a big head. Sharp oakey and lemony aroma, somehow reminding me of a geuze. Tart, lemony flavours blending well with fat oakey vanilla. Some woody as well as acidic dryness. Quite full-bodied. A very complex wit that borders to a geuze. That combination does not fail to impress.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander and brettanomyces as well as light notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of orange peal and medium notes of malt, leading to a dry and tart finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Hazy golden with a small white head. Complex spicy aroma with grains of paradise, coriander and cilantro, with some earthy notes underneath. Tart and dry with spice and wheat malt flavour. Drying tannin in the finish.

50cl bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with a solid creamy white foam. Nose is balanced - orange fruits, citrus, wheat, yeast & spices. Medium bodied. Taste has brett, barnyard, citrus and oak. Some sour & spicy notes. Very different from the regular Belgium Wit - complex, yet mild & refreshing. Ends dry. Good!

Bottle. Golden beer with a strongish head. The aroma is weakly citrus and spiced, and the flavour is sour and weakly spiced. Overall a very average beer.

Light, refreshing, tart, some citrus. A light lactic acidity to the flavor. It is basically a JP brew.. probably Brett. Lemon, a little wheat. Very enjoyable.
