sdriessen (56), Dunedin, New Zealand Dec 18, 2008 A slightly cloudy appearance with a rocky white head. Aromas of hops, slight malt and a hint of bubblegum. Kind of yeasty.
Flavours and palate are somewhat in between a hefeweizen and a kristallweizen, as in, no real sediment. Quite a clean, watery mouthfeel. Slight flavours of bubblegum and citrus, but mostly hops. A great member of the Macs family, but definitely not the best wheat beer. kiwibt (17), , New Zealand Oct 24, 2008 Slight orange,corrinander with a hint of cloves.Appearance cloudy with good head retention.
Flavour is a bit out of balance with to much malt flavour/sweetness and not enough orange/corrinander.
Overall not bad but not balanced for the style. gam (679), brisbane, Australia Jun 29, 2008 Large frothy head on a misty straw pour with good carbonation.Aroma is cloce nutmeg citrus.Flavour clove citrus malt taste,coriander,flavours are weak to watery.Finish is similar. LeopardMan (53), New Zealand Jun 2, 2008 330ml bottle. A slightly sweet and relatively pale, murky beer which could use quite a bit more of its citrusy (orange, coriander) aroma and flavour. Ends, as mentioned by others with a disappointingly dry feel and flavour. Could be better/worse. Eructoblaster (1288), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Apr 29, 2008 On tap at Mac’s Brewery, Wellington (NZ). Pale blond cloudy body with a lasting white foamy head. Aroma carries light citrusy hints. Taste is a bit misbalanced and is dominated by maltiness. Ends with a short bittersweet finish. Not a great Witbier.
