944play (64), Santa Rosa, California, USA Jan 17, 2009 12oz in De Koninck glass. Effervescent cloudy yellow. Pours nearly syrupy. Slightly muddled nose of apricots, dough, and nutmeg. Flavor is largely akin to weissbier, which works for me. Finishes with tingly carbonic bite and hints of white pepper. juiceisloose (640), Windermere, Florida, USA Jan 16, 2009 This one pours hazy yellowish orange color with a small white head that settlers to a thin film. The aroma is of orange peel, coriander, wheat, and some citrus hops. THe flavor follows with a good amount of sweet oranges, coriander, wheat, and some candy sugar sweetness. Medium bodied and almost creamy with nice carbonation that goes down fairly smooth. Much fuller on the palate than most of this style. This is definitely an imperial belgian white. Good flavor in this one and nice and refreshing. Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA Jan 15, 2009 Comes out of the tap a bright honey yellow, cloudy to the point of opaqueness, with a little white head. Aroma is lemony and wheaty, inviting a taste. Well-rounded flavor is wheaty and pleasantly tart with a strong lemon overtone. Texture is bubbly and lively, and leaves a crisp and lemony aftertaste. JCastner (102), New York, USA Jan 13, 2009 12 oz. bottle: Pours a hazy straw with a small head.Clear until I poured the remaining bottle yeast. Aroma is of cloves and fruit from the esthers. Medium body. Taste is crisp and spicy but not dry at all. Fairly complex, although it is a little two sweet for me. Not bad. Excellent with a nice light fish and salad. HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA Jan 11, 2009 12oz bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a very hazy pale gold with a finger of white head. Lots of carbonation. Bottle conditioned. Tons of banana and a wheaty spice in the nose. More banana and fruit flavors. A little on the sweet side. It seemed a little flabby to me. Mouthfeel was nice though. I prefer clove over banana in a wit, so this didn’t do a whole lot for me. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast, banana, lemon and notes of coriander. Flavor is sweet and yeasty with orange zest, banana, cloves and spices with a medium body and a clean and crisp finish. Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark Jan 6, 2009 Hazy golden of color with a white head. A fresh aroma of lemon, spice and sweets. A flavor of lemon, spice and a nice dry finish. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Dec 30, 2008 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a nice white head. Nose of orange peel, coriander, and grassy citrus. Flavor is similar with a sugary lemon presence and some peppery characteristics in mid-swallow. Floral, pleasant, and refreshing. Reminiscent of Weyerbacher White. Good stuff.
