Pours cloudy golden, with a huge four-finger white head, with fantastic, lasting lacing. Smells strongly of citrus with dough, hay, and some subtle spice. Medium-thin and crisp body. Unsurprisingly, lots of citrus and bread flavors, but the wheat notes are very subdued, and balanced. Very nice citrus and grass aftertaste. This is the best tasting wit I’ve had.

Poured a light yellow color with a very small white head. Smell is bananas and lemon. Taste is much of the same, bananas, lemon, and spices. Good carbonation and mouthfeel. Pretty good for a Belgian White.

bomber. Beautiful hazy gold pour with a nice foamy head. Pleasant citrus and yeast aroma, with some honey and lemon. Flavor was bread, yeast, banana esters, honey. Lively mouthfeel.

Nice fruity flavor and a hit of honey. What I would expect out of a Witbier. Nothing out of this world though, just a solid beer.

Hoegaarden bottled under a different name but, with more orange flavor and lot more CO2. I could hear the head?

Tall white head, frothy, incredible lacing. Hazy golden body. Nose is hints of lemon and citrus, faint clove. Taste is lemony and a bit thin, finish is a bit metallic compared to the other Celis inspired wits Ive had. Clean and refreshing palate, a bit too thin, but still a thirst quenching tasty wit.

11.2oz bottle. Hazy golden color with thick head and good lace. Even though I’m not usually a big fan of this style I really liked this one and have liked everything tasted so far from St Bernardus. Subtle flavors of citrus and spice. Crisp and light. Very good.

11.2oz bottle (Best by 19 03 10) served in a shaker. This wit poured a pale, hazy golden with a two-finger thick head of tight, white fizz. Decent retention and very good lace. The aroma included grainy wheat, dried orange peel, faint coriander, and some bready yeast. The wheat is definately the star. Very subtle spicing. The flavor had smooth, creamy wheat, orange peel, a hint of lemon, and some very mild spice and coriander. The mouthfeel was crisp and light-bodied. Light to moderate carbonation. Amazingly quaffable and refreshing. A decent example of the style.
