Vuuve

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

Very very light beer. Very clean tasting beer with a strong taste of lemon...... and that’s it. It kind of tastes like drinking lemon water.

33 cl bottle: Cloudy yellow with a off white bubbly head. This beer is heavy spiced. Coriander, wheat, pepper & citrus. It has a touch of medicine & is a bit too sour for my liking. OK, but the fly ass long haired hippie/hoppie brewer can do better than this!

Bottle. Cloudy, ruddy orange color with not much head. Aroma of orange peel, honey, coriander, and spice. Taste is moderately sweet to start, with a lot of tart citrus character that lasts through the finish. Moderately thick palate. Pretty straightforward wit, perhaps a bit tarter than most.

Bottle Eulogy in Olde City Philadelphia-Poured a light golden yellow coloring. Aroma and flavorings were sweet fruity flavors with average malts and hops. Not as enjoyable as most belgians.

I thought this was a decidedly average witbier, and doesn’t stand up well to a Wittekerke or a Hoegaarden. It pours a hazy yellow with tiny bubbles in its head (which did not stick around for long). Aroma was a lemon-y scent that reminded me of Lemonheads candy. Flavor was a tart Lemonhead flavor (more the outside of the Lemonhead rather than the super-sour core) with some spiciness, but a spiciness that was hard to place as it wasn’t coriander, clove-y, or pepper. Mouthfeel was a bit chalky. I thought this was OK, but nothing special.

Pour: hazy, oragnge golden. Head: creamy, offwhite. Aroma: strong citrus, tart, wheat. Flavor: strong citrus, orange, tart. Palate: smooth. Finish: clean.

Bottled. Poured a murky, milky pale yellow with a short-lived cap of white head and large, sticky bubbles on the sides of the glass. The aroma was quite nice.. lemon peel, orange, and coriander accent a softer wheat and banana sweetness at the core.. definite hints of sourness, but intriguing. The flavor had a bunch more dry sourness, which detracted a notch (lemon and orange peel-related).. dry wheat and some lemon sweetness at the core, and coriander sticking through the finish.. not half bad. Lighter-bodied and rather sour on the palate with pleasant, peppery spices on the finish. OK.

Pours a hazy pale thick gold. The head is thick, fizzy and white. Sweet musty aroma, sour, spice, the orange is extremely apparent. the flavor is sweet, definite orange peel, musty, sour, spicy. Palate is crisp, smooth in carbonation. Finishes with mandarin oranges at the back of the mouth.
