Watous Wit Bier

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

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.

(Bottle 25 cl) Typical pale, opaque witbier. Light and refreshing with visible yeasty sediment. And then a surprising hint of hops in the palate. Slightly perfumy nose but the arome is only citrusy and fresh. 060795

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

Bottled. Hazy pale golden colour with big creamy white head, lacing. Aroma is acidic and sour citrus fruit along with wheat and some slight nuts and spices also. Flavour is citrus, yeast, hops, spices and slight nuttyness. A pleasant witbier. Long spicy aftertaste.

Hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by citrus with notes of spices. The flavour is so dominated by citrus, that it hides everything else. Strange and not very pleasant beer.
