bigleftie (4), Bayville, New Jersey, USA does not count Mar 31, 2007 An average Belgian style ale with a cloudy appearance. Adding a slice of orange helps bring out the taste I look for in a Belgian white beer. I felt a slightly bitter finish on the sides of the tongue which made my mouth experience a slightly salty finish. Overall, it’s a good beer that I’d drink again, but I’d opt for the Hoogarden if I had to choose. MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Mar 29, 2007 Updated: Jan 20, 2008Cloudy straw-yellow with a medium head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, wheat, cloves, lemony pepper and coriander. Flavor was lightly sweet and medium sour and bitter. Spices very prevalent in the taste. Light to medium body. True to the classic style, if a little heavier on the spice. kramer (2406), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 20, 2007 22 oz bottle, Ty5592. Pours a hazy, almost unnaturally yellow colored body under a one finger fizzy white head that faded quickly. Aroma is of spicy wheat with some hay and straw notes. Some yeast, coriander, and orange peel. Fairly light and delicate spicing. Flavor is quite a bit heavier on the spicing than the nose let on. Lots of citrusy orange peel and coriander from start to finish. There is lots of wheat at the base, but the flavor doesn’t really emerge much. Mouthfeel is light-medium bodied with very fizzy prickly carbonation. Finishes fairly crisp with lots of lingering slightly sticky spices. This was pretty decent. Nothing eye-opening, but certainly drinkable. beerbomb (172), New Jersey, USA Mar 20, 2007 Pours very cloudy yellow-looks quite appetizing. Aroma is musty wheat plus sweet lemon and peppery spices. Flavor is musty lemony wheat with a creamy orange sweetness and spices. Acidity is apparent. Shouldnt be in the same catagory as regular light wits, but fairs well regardless. Good stuff. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 16, 2007 Sampled with The Mad Indian. Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of spices, lemon, and wheat. The flavor is sweet, spices are present, and nice lemony citrus. Good brew. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2007 Sampled with Stegosaurus. Bottled. Poured a cloudy yellow with fizzy white head. (Appearence scared me looked like a cludoy budweiser). Aroma of wheat and spice. Taste was much of the same. Very dry finish and rather good. I enjoyed this drewbeerme (2224), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 10, 2007 rating from memory, poured a 22oz bomber, dark orange with fluffy white head. nose is very corriander, orange, and yeasty. flavor is much of the same but it doesn’t seem balanced or enjoyable to me. a sourness makes this sorta gross. sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 10, 2007 Updated: Nov 8, 2007Bottle into glass. Great looking cloudy appearance. Orange and coriander there, but not overpowering. Nice finish. Easy to drink.
