Style: Belgian White (Witbier)

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.

Bottle, Brussels, May 2005. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), with notes of coriander and orange/lemon peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Bottle. Opaque gold colour with thin disappearing white head. Citrus spicey wheat beer nose with some sourness. Tangerine/grapefruit and light clove nose. Body is a bit thin and sour. with more tangerine grapefruit flavour on the finish. Not the best wheat beer but if you enjoy tangerine/grapefruit flavours then you will enjoy this as long as you are prepared to accept the sourness.

Bottled. A slightly hazy greeny white-wine coloured beer which pours with no head. The aroma is very lemony with wheaty and spicy notes. The taste is rather thin bodied; it has lemon flavours (slightly sour) and wheat. OK but a bit dull.

A hazy light orange beer with a nice white head. The aroma is very citrusy - going the way of oranges, combined with spices, and some dishwash water. The flavor is malty with notes of oranges and coriander as well as other not recognizable spices, but something that reminds me of ginger, the spices gives it a slightly dusty mouthfeel, and a dry end. Not the best Wit I’ve had.

(Bottled@Delirium Cafe, Brussels) Opaque yellow-golden color with a smallish head. Crisp and refreshing, lemony-spicy aroma. Spicy, wheaty flavor with orange and lemon. Light to medium-bodied with a bit foamy carbonation. A spicy and refreshing witbier.

Bottle Lightly hazy, yellow body. Fizzy, white head. Spare lace. Nose of hops (orange peels, grain). Lightly bitter flavour. Very weak.

Couleur jaune paille, apparence mi-opaque. Arômes très parfumés dévoilent pain aux bananes et gâteau aux épices. D’intensité moindre en bouche, gingembre, blé et levures semblent s’être taillé une place de choix. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, texture semblant aqueuse en bouche. Pas rafraîchissante comme les modèle de référence de ce style et certainement unidimensionnelle.
