Thanks to Irishboy for sending me this little gem. Appearance: Muddy orange with some small floaties, a tiny but stubborn head. Aroma: Citrus and toffee, some herbs there too, nice and fresh aroma. Flavour: Lovely, smooth citrusesque like start with a wheat finish, some sweetness in the finish. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic. One of the best witbiers I’ve had, maybe the best. Awesome nose, awesome flavor, and awesome beer...I mean bier. Lots of citrus makes this just awesome. Highly recommended.

Off yellow pour, with lots of cloudiness. Big fluffy white head. Lots of lacing on glass. Smell is wheat, and cirtus, Taste is the same, very smooth and full bodied and stays with you, very drinkable beer.

Very cloudy dirty orange with a nice white head of large bubbles that expand and merge then disappear. Very tart nose bites of coriander and a smooth wheat malt. very citrusy body, lemons and oranges. Smooth with hints of coriander in the finish. Nice.

Bottle pours a cloudy body with a solid white head. Sweet wheat, orange, lemon zest. Nice lemon tart acidity with a big wheaty backbone that carries some spices through this nectar. Good beer.

Deep cloudy orange, healthy persistent tight creamy head. Big wit aroma - wheaty, citrussy, and spicy - a little dusty. Smooth milky palate, but pretty crisp carbonation - tingly because of that, and also hops. Spicy citrussy taste. Finish is a nice zingy hoppiness. Pretty full-bodied for a wit - refreshing and tasty. One of the better wits, bettered perhaps only by Pierre Celis’ other brews.
