jbrus (4018), Delft, Netherlands Apr 13, 2008 Bottle@Home. Sweet wheat aroma with some citrus and lots of spices but mainly coriander. Cloudy, yellow color, small white head, good lace. Sweet, citric, very bitter, citrus, wheat and of course spiced well. Full and milky mouthfeel but dry in the finish. Flavorful but too much bitterness IMO. So technically ok but not my kind of white. Thanks Yngwie!

Golden with white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor dominated of coriander with malty, wheat and orange notes. Neither a heavy nor a refresher. tgncc (199), Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 1, 2008 Aroma was very strong wheat/grains, some citrus, grass. Appearance is attractive, a straw colored, hazy beverage, with a tinge of orange. Persistent off white head, a lot of carbonation. Flavor was wheat, citrus hops, a little bit of spice. The palate was a little sour, with a hop crispness. Nice beer overall. blipp (567), Grand Island, New York, USA Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is spicy, with clove, nutmeg, and lemon. Medium body. Flavot has a very nice balance of fruit and spice. Clove, nutmeg, lemon, banana. A very impressive wit. Madsnp (95), Vinens Verden, Slotsgade, Denmark Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Hazy yellow with foamy egg white head. Aromas of lemon, coriander and yeast. Flavour of citrus, spice and some honey. Lovely refreshing on a hot summer day i Odense. ChainGangGuy (1393), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jun 29, 2008 Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, straw-colored body with a full, foamy, white head.
Smell: Aroma of coriander and dried orange peel with a vague underlying maltiness.
Taste: Delicate pale maltiness with a restrained honey-like sweetness. Strong spice component tasting of coriander, citrus peel, and white pepper. Low hop bitterness. Blip of acidity. Slightly sweet, slighty sour on the relatively crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I still feel the whole trend of doubling or imperializing witbiers is entirely lost on me, they don’t get twice as refreshing, quite the opposite, in fact.
