Wittekerke

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

Pale yellow and cloudy with a white pillow top head. Sweet orange zest nose served with a slice of lemon and a side of wheat. The taste is more of the same for this lighter bodied forward drinking witbier. The finish is slightly longer than what I would expect for the initial mouthfeel however everything is on the front end of the tongue.

I had this Wit beer on tap at Magoos. Must say it was a bit different, with oily and soapy notes(No it wasn’t the glass). peppery and with an Ornage thrown in it was better than most of type to my tastes. Light lemon inand cloudy in appearance with no head at all. Distinctive but hard to name aroma.

~Aroma of perfumy corriander, wheat, spice and lemony orange. ~Pours a yellowish white with small white head. ~Bitter orange like flavor with corriander and other spices. ~Light feel, refreshing, spicy orange finish. ~Crisp clean and tasty. Good Witbier!

300 ml bottle. Yellowish head, very fruity aroma, comes to think of coriander and lemon. Quite refreshing.

Sampled at Binny’s Beverage Depot’s Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a cloudy, straw hue with a modest, bubbly head and not much lacing. The nose was yeast, light grain, and a hint of lemon zest. The flavor contributed some light spice, fizzy carbonation, thin body, and light dryness to the finish. Didn’t get me too excited, even as a quencher.

I got a six pack of cans of this mainly because I first had it at bar in Seattle on a cross-country I took. It has yellow, cloudy appearance with a citrus/banana flavor. It’s a light body beer, that was a tad bitter but not from hops possibly the age. That would account for the flat, thin feel as the head on mine was not as fluffy or full as most people seem to have. Refreshing and better then some beers for the price but not the best.

300 ml bottle. Dim, yellow/orange body with a dense white head. Aroma is a bit fruit acid, citric, lemon, spices and banana. Flavor is sweet & sour, banana, lemon and oranges. Medium body. Quite refreshing, but rather plain, there is a lot better wit beers around.

I’m not feelin’ it with this beer. Light aroma of bread. Pale yellow, a bit cloudy with a big fluffy head. Taste is rather bland. Not a lot going on.
