Watous Wit Bier

Brewed by Van Eecke
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Poperinge-Watou, Belgium

Pale yellow with white head. Aroma of wheat & citrus. Taste is very little of wheat. Lively carbonation & the little amount of hops/wheat makes it easy drinkable. Pleasant, but it doesnt really have any bite!

Poured with a small head that provided simply outstanding lacing. Some floral aspects (rose?) were detectable and these were nicely laid on top of the basic wheat and citrus flavors of a witbier. There were some significant levels of coriander and other spices, while this one had a great aroma and flavor (including some yeast). This may be my favorite witbier to-date, although getting it fresh and ready to go in Ieper was probably an advantage over the other import wits I’ve had.

Bottle. Muddy pale white appearance. Small white head. Aroma of coriander, wheat and lemon. Dry flavour of lemon, orange, coriander, other spices. Citric finish.

Brown bottle, 33 cl, expiry date: September 2006, purchased on March 30, 2006; eye: pale straw with some whitish reflections, hazy, a bit of effervescence, white head that disappears rapidly; nose: "freshness", spices, yeast; mouth: let’s write that the flavors are rather weak, a bit of malt, a hint of sourness, a hint of spices, finale of average length where its banana character comes out, fizzy, lightly bitter and sour, light body, rather thin; overall: a bit disappointing FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 33 cl, date de péremption : septembre 2006, date d’achat : 30 mars 2006; oeil : paille pâle avec des reflets tirant sur le blanchâtre, voilée, un peu d’effervescence, mousse blanche qui disparaît presque aussitôt; nez : « fraîcheur », épices, levure; bouche : écrivons que les saveurs sont faibles, un peu de malt, une pointe sûrette, un peu d’épices, finale de moyenne durée où le côté banane ressort, pétillante, légèrement amère et sûrette, corps léger, texture plutôt mince; en résumé : un peu déçu

Draught at Brugs Beertje. More lemon than orange. A refreshing Belgian white. The memorable aspect is that the billowy white head was a bit chewy.

Hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Banana aroma with a little lemon. The taste is sour with cloves and a slight bitterness. Fizzy.

Draught. Bright, hazy yellpw with a huge white head that was sliced with a knife. Quenching with fresh citrus notes. Under rated IMO.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow colour with a decent white mostly lasting head. Aroma of yeast, citrus and fruits. Nice palate.
