Feb 4, 2009 The aroma is spicy with yeast, citrus, alcohol, and malt. The appearance is hazy gold-orange with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma and very strong in an alcohol taste. The palate is smooth. Overall this has the makings of a good beer but the astringent bitterness and obvious alcohol bring it down.

Jan 31, 2009 Pour was hazy white-golden with a nice frothy foamy white-ish colored head with good lacing. The aroma was musty yeast, strong spiciness more than anything "orangey," lighter fruit presence. The flavor followed suit, excellent strong spicing over top of a good and strong wit base. Alcohol was quite pleasant and under control, mouthfeel full bodied, highly carbonated. Overall, a very strong showing in the imperial wit niche.

Jan 23, 2009 A day like this where a star has lighten up the danish sky it couldn´t be more apropriate than to rate a beer like this one...
Grats Mikkel.
Finaly a wit / weizen beer that holds a bit more alcohol... Thumps up for the great design on the label.
Bottle, 75 cl champange, corked with a fairly high carbonation. Pours a hazy deep yellow, actually like a typically hefe weizen - the head is nice and huge with an impressive fluffy attitude. The nose is yeasty with notes of honey-melon, some metal, soap and orange peel - a freshness that suits it. The taste bares a hoppyness that seems unfamiliar to the wit-genre - its rather complex taste with citrus-notes alot of yeasts, coriander-seeds, american hopas that is both fresh and gives a bitterness in the end with a sparkling palate that bubbles on the tounge. I really like this one and it is way more interesting than a dusin of weizen bought south of the boarder.

Jan 22, 2009 Bottle.
Head is initially large, frothy, white, mostly lasting.
Body is hazy medium yellow, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin, apricot), lightly yeasty (basement), with notes of pear syrup, dried pineapple, and plastic.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, syrupy/velvety texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic.
Seems like the "wit" aspects are mostly hidden in this one. To me, it’s simply a strong Belgian golden ale with non-Belgian hop character. Not too bad in that regard, but nothing special.
