Pours a cloudy and hazy yellow from the bottle. Has a great aroma for a white beer. It smells floral and citrus and wheaty all at once. Pours with a nice head that sticks around. Has a heavy citrus flavor as well and is well balanced for a white. A very smooth and refreshing beer. Up there as far as Whites go for me.

355ml Bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki)- Hazy golden in colour. Fresh and floral aroma with leomn and a bit of spice. Tangy taste with some hops,spice and lemon. Quite fizzy on the tongue. Nice and refreshing but needs a bit more body.

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a small head. Witbier-saisony aroma with some sourness and honeyish pale malt. Flavor is something between Plevnan Panimosima, and Weihenstephaner Vitus. Honeyish malt, witbier spices, raisins. Medium-bodied, soft-carbonated. Funny, but quite enjoyable. Lacks complexity, though.

On tap at Capone’s. Pour was murky yellow-orange with a dense white head . Thick lace. Strong coriander and citrus aroma. Tastes like orange and cilantro. A bit peppery and wheaty. Medium/full body. Average carbonation. Dry, slightly tart finish.

355ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Bitter and Sour 2008)
Ghastly incipid hazy creamed corn colour, flecked with particles more than actual haze. Healthy head. Spicy coriander and wheaty aroma - quite authentic Belgian wit. Zesty lemon taste. Some floury dough, but also an interesting hoppy and alcoholic punch. A bit sour too.

12oz Bottle: Cloudy golden w/ a large white head & nice tight lacing. Also some sediment lurking in the bottom of the glass. Aroma is of wheat, yeast, citrus & coriander. Flavor starts off slightly sour w/ orange peel kicking in big time then some lemon & a bit of coriander to finish it off. Finish is mildly dry & mouthfeel is creamy & smooth.

Pours like a pils, was brilliantly clear, one finger stark-white head that collapses. Looked in the bottle to see the yeast sediment was firmly compacted on the bottom. Smells yeasty, lemony and sour. The taste is so much bigger than you would assume, great lactic-like(?) sourness, underlying hop bitters and good coriander/curacao spiciness. The first sip hit me like a ton of bricks, I wasn’t expecting that. It really is a ’double white’ - very skillfully brewed and downright delicious. Only downside is the collasping head, needs to be more proteiny and linger awhile. Do try it.
