Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Citrusy, spicy aroma, can definitle pick out the corriander and orange peel, with notes of lemon zest, fresh cut grass, and slight vinegar. Hazy yellow orange, thin white head. Tart flavor accentuates the citrus, a bready earthiness comes through as well. Unfortunately, there is an unpleasant medicinal/metallic off-flavor, which detracts from the brew big time. Lively medium light body. If not for the off-flavor, which seems to be a chlorophenol to me, this wouldn’t be bad. Hopefully I just got a bad batch, but it doesn’t speak well that the brewery would allow a beer with such a blatant flaw on the market.

Post shower dinner beer, whopping bottle. Poured an attractive golden yellow, decent head. Aroma lightly of coriander and orange peel. Flavor matched, with notes of wheat grains. Very well balanced. Touch of yeast as well. This is a really good wit.

12 oz. bottle. Peach/copper-colored pour with a very nice fine head. The aroma is fruity with some sweet/tartness. The flavor is fruity with peach, lime, nectarine, and grape. It is quite thirst-quenching yet very nice to sip. The carbonation really brings out the flavors. Excellent beer!

The head is huge and very active. A nice cloudy light gold color to the body. Spritzy and lively aroma. Lemons with some Irish Spring soap. The taste is more sour and funky than I would have expected. Interesting with a metallic tint and some lemon peel. This is a very unusual and interesting wit. Try this if you are a lambic fan. Makes me burp up a blue cheese flavor.

Pour is a bright orange with a foamy white head. Aroma is strong and fruity, I can smell it w/o bringing the glass to my nose. You can tell they made this with lots of coriander. Flavor is orange peel and maybe lemon peel mixed in. Loses points for its extreme tartness. Smells better than is tastes. Nothing really great in the end and damn expensive. The 11.5 oz. bottle cost me $4.

Golden color slightly cloudy, with a nice white head and a touch of lacing. Very distinctive flavor of grapefruit and pasteboard with a sour aftertaste. Once is okay, but I won’t buy it again.

Bottled
Hazy yellow, floating yeast particles. Good white head. Aroma is strong: spicey and sour, orange, not very pleasant. Flavor has orange peel spicyness but wheat dominates mouthfeel. Palate is not balanced, this one has some disturbing soapy notes. Aftertaste has orange (again).

Cloudy gold in colour with an intense grapefruit aroma. Fairly sour and spritzy. It doesn’t really taste like a wit. The fruit flavors overwhelm the spices. Very strange.
