Watous Wit Bier

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

From Skjold Burne, Aarhus 130408 Bottled Thin for the style - though a hint of malt Coriander and notes of orange

2008-03-02. Pale pastel yellow body is very lightly hazy, foamy white head and decent lacing on the glass (3+). Yeasty hoppy aroma, with musty, grassy floral note to the hops. Light sweet lemon notes are muted at first. (6+) Fluffy muddled lightly yeasty flavour, tart wheat, light hoppy bitterness throughout, fairly mild flavour overall. Average palate is smooth but borders on thin.
On tap at De Kollebloeme, Ypres, Grote Markt

Cloudy pale piss yellow colour with small white head. Spicey corriander aroma. Mild spicey mouthfeel. Pretty average wheat beer.

Bright, brisk, and refreshing but not compelling enough to keep my interest.

Hazy yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of wheat, spice and citrus. A thin flavor of wheat, spice and citrus.

Cask @ Beer Circus. Pours cloudy yellow with not much head. Aroma is citrus / grapefruit / some nuts / sour. Taste is coriander / grapefruit / yeast / slight banana. Ok, but not something I’d drink often.

Cask @ Beer circus, Croydon. Grapefruit/citrus. Smokey yellow. Some carbonation, grapefruit, lemon, sweet and wheat. Balance of sweetness and dryness. An ok beer.

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with yeast sediments floating around, crispy white and disappearing head.Citrus, coriander, wheat and fruity aroma with a minor yeast note. Fizzy and somewhat thin mouthfeel. Flavour is lemonish and sweet with a soft mouthfeel from the wheat which provides both a feel and flavour smoothness. Somewhat thin finish which seems more citric watery than anything else. Not bad but not good either.6-3-6-3-11=2.9
