Wittekerke

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Harelbeke, Belgium

Cloudy gold with a skunky, funky yeast nose. Flavor is thin wheat, mildly grainy, with a hint of citrus. Not great.

Can:. Hazy white colour, ,thin head. Aroma of citrus,malty,gras and hay, som metalic was there too. Flavor has a thin mouth feeling, citrus and flowery. Short week finish.

Pours a pale cloudy white with a two finger creamy white head. The nose was subdued, not really smelling like a witbier, some earthy character, no citrus, mildly wheaty. The flavor shows some corn, a tad crisp, very mild spice, grainy, hay, not too hot and lacks traditional wit character. More like a simple wheat beer than a wit.

Pours a cloudy pale yellow with great big white head. Easy to drink, but not much flavor or aroma at all here. Pretty boring and forgettable.

Pours white to hazy pale amber color with a creamy white head, good aroma of citrus and sweet maltiness. Wonderful taste, very easy to drink. Has good lacing. I would recommend and drink again.

Sampled from 11.2-oz can at friend’s party. Pours a semi-hazed golden pale brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of lemon zest, a hint of golden grain malt with wheat, some mild earthy herbs and a touch of corn. Taste is light to medium bodied with flavors of golden grain malt, some lemon and lemon zest with some corn character. Finish is semi-sweet, some extra carbonation compared to most other witbiers with a short lives lemon zest aftertaste. Missing the typical Belgian yeast, corinader but still drinkable.

Pours a pale hazy grapefruit into a tumbler. Bright white head recedes to skim surface leaving slight lacing. Wheat and lemon aromas. Crisp with front to back lemon and wheat.

Sampled at the 2008 Creative Loafing Beerfest in St. Pete. Nice white Belgian wheat. Smooth.
