Wittekerke

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

Cloudy yellow with some spotty lacing and a light head. Sour wheat aroma with some clove and bitter orange citrus. Some hints of grassy hops. Bitter orange again in the flavor with lots of wheat and notes of alcohol. Fluffy and fizzy mouthfeel that finishes off with a good dose of wheat and citrus.

Pours lemonade yellow w/ shallow white spritzy froth. Aroma is fresh and citrusy. Light nectar w/ mellow residual effers. Flavors are clean and refreshing w/ muted citrus and pine. The fniish has a slight bttering acidity. Overall: very refreshing with an almost creamy texture as it warms.

pours a murky clouded pale straw color...large frothy cap that laces wonderfully. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of citrus peel and spices in the nose light mustiness Good wheat backbone, medium-light bodied, chalky dry mouthfeel with a spritzy-citrusy character. Chewy wheat biscuit malt upfront with all the requisite Belgian wit spices and citus peel flavors...but not sharp...rather well rounded and mellow and a touch of sweetness but still dry and spicey enough to be interesting and carry a dry crisp finish. A good solid witbier in a convenient package 2 thumbs up

Bottled. Hazy straw color with small but creamy head. Light aroma with grapefruit and tobacco. Grainy, wheaty, oily and lightly spicy flavor with hints of clove, coriander, citrus, grapefruit and distant hops. Easy and light flavored witbier.

Pours light golden and hazy. Aroma of orange, coriander, and wheat. Taste is sweet, yeasty, with orang peel and other assorted citrus. Light bodied and refreshing.

Bottled. Pale yellow coloured. Unclear.. Dense white head. Honey, citrus and light spice in the nose. Flavour of yeast, citrus and spice. Is quite soapy. Dry and bland. Is light bodied. Fresh spiciness in the end.

Has a nice fruity-flora head, pours with little foam. Has a nice cloudy appearance, yet is lighter beer than most witbiers. This is a nice change if you are tired of your heavier Hef’s.

I ordered a Wittekerke and my girlfriend ordered a Blue Moon. They tasted very similar. A nice refreshing beer, with a nice head. Tasted slightly better than the Blue Moon.
