Watous Wit Bier

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

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow colour with a thick longlasting white head. Spicy aroma with hints of yeast and coriander. A little thin malty flavor with some hints of citrus and coriander. Smooth malty aftertaste.

(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 22 Apr 2006) Golden yellow colour, hazy, with a firm white head. Nose is soft and spicy with hints of clove and coriander. Taste is smooth and spicy with clove and citrus (Seville orange). Smooth and refreshing, but a bit on the thin side.

Almost tasteless, faint hint of vanilla. Maybe something was wrong with the bottle.

refreshing fruity, spicy and sourrish witbier. there’s citrus zest and just a hint of coriander in it. finishes short and sourrish. good enough.

Bottled. Yellow, hazy beer with a large, dense, diminishing white head. Yeast sediments in the bottles. Lovely citrus aroma of lemon and orange, and some spicyness. Quite weak and dry mouthfeel. Fruity, chalky and metallic finish. The flavor is disappointing in comparison with the aroma, banana, lemon and coriander. The amount of lemon flavor almost makes it reminiscent of a radler. Not a bad beer, though. (060228)

Qui pense qu’une bière blanche est sans goût ou fade ? Tel était mon point de vu avant de boire ma première Wit Bier. Cette bière est douce mais avec suffisemment d’amertume pour être aimée. Bonne dégustation.

On tap at Delirium Café, May 2005. Lightly hazy blonde with a thick creamy head. Aroma of wheat, bubble gum but some matchstick sulfur notes also present. Rather weak in mouth, with light bananas and chalky notes. Not what I expected from this brewery.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Hazy yellow with somewhat diminishing white head. Aroma of orange, lemon, coriander, biscuity malts, other spices. Thinnish mouthfeel. Something slightly metallic in the finish. Not bad, though.
