Once again, you all are wrong--this is really pretty good. Smell it again: restrained but terribly complex aroma--almost like Rochefort believe it or not. Very dry character, bordering on grainy--doesn’t have the sweetness of most Belgian whites or even the fruitiness and spice of its own aroma. I can see why this beer would bore some. I find it unique and engaging.

11.2 oz bottle - different from photo...way more uber. The body was a cloudy hazy orange with small dissapating head. The aroma was spice and citrus, and also traces of Fruit Loops. Great taste - spice, coriander and citrus again. I think this beer is underrated.

Surprisingly complicated! Sourish, but only slightly. Wow! This is truly delicious and I must revisit it and taste against other top wits to see where it stands.

Others who have rated this beer describe it as hazy, globular, particulate, and metamucil in appearance, and lemony in flavor. DUH! This is a WHITE beer! look it up! Sterkens is a fine example of a Belgian white ale, straw colored, and fruity-lemony in flavor, but not nearly as tart as a lambic. Frothey white head, very drinkable, great beer to have with dinner. This is definatley on my BUY AGAIN list, I recommend.
