Bottle @ Plan B, Cph. Pours pale golden with lots of bubbles in the liquid. A medium bubbly white head rises on top of it. Aroma is heavy of wheat and a light note of coriander. Lively mouthfeel with good palate. Flavour is round, surprisingly dry, ginger, nutmeg and a light tartness from the oranges. Finish is rather dry. Good, but never fantastic.

Appearance is a bottle-conditioned yeast particles intense cloudy golden. Nicely laced white head never leaves although it could be larger. Aroma surprises at first with its citric and lactic side. This is as zesty as it gets, lime like, passion fruits, spicy ginger, coriander. Very subtle alcohol, cream hints. Nice smell for a wit. I’m taken aback by the first sip though. It is quite acid.. once again lactic and citric, this time a bit more in an orangey citrusy way, but it gives the impression to be a yeast affair and doesn’t appear like the logical following to the beautiful aroma. Carbonation level is very high, yet it’s rather smooth and medium bodied. Not as full as a blanche neige or as spicy/weird as a kiuchi to me among my top witbiers, but I’ll revisit soon enough to study into this sourness further.
Second sample was less tart, quite citrusy, fluffy. Sometimes reminiscent of a lemonade with big carbonation, biting. I'll leave the score where it's at..

Not my style, but a damn fine beer nonetheless! Very pale, hazy pear-colored ale. Large, fizzy, white head. Great retention. Very spicy. Pineapple, apricot, orange peel, coriander and pear in the aroma. Bisquity as well. High ABV is well hidden in the flavor and aroma. Spicy and fruity. Very refreshing with notes of orange blossom honey. Full-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Sweet, tangy finish.
