Camden Town Gentleman's Wit
Keg; Special.
James and Pete paired up for Gentleman’s Wit (4.3% ABV). The inspiration, other than loving the zesty spiciness of wit, lies somewhere between a plate of lemon meringue pie and a cup of Earl Grey tea. James roasted 20 lemons covered in bergamot for 20 hours until they were juicy, fragrant, caramelised and sharp. The beer was made with a classic recipe and yeast strain with the lemons bombing into the whirlpool at the end of the brew.
It’s turned out as one of the most incredible beers we’ve brewed. The colour is as beautiful as a beer can get: a hazy, unfiltered warm pastel yellow. The lemon and bergamot poke through the aroma, a hint of sharpness cuts through the middle, it’s dry and interesting and quenching and a dry, phenolic spice ends the mouthful like a full stop ends a sentence.

330ml can. Pours hazy straw yellow with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is bergamot, lemon, wheat. Taste is herbs, lemon zest, sour notes. I prefer my witbiers to not smell of tea.
Yellow with a big head that soon dissipates. Thin body which is wheat dominated.Not a lot going for it and certainly not one I would recomend.
Lemon soapy watery taste. Tastes unfinished and overly dry hopped
On tap in Soho, London. Hazy golden, thin white head. Combines the citrus notes of a typical Belgian Wit with sweet grainy flavours. Quite drinkable.
Pours a cloudy orange with little to no head. Terrible aroma of copper and synthetic banana. Far more pleasant taste of banana and citrus. Not bad. Not good.
Faible carbonatation.
Robe jaune pâle.
Saveur de citron.
Une bière correcte et bien fraîche adaptée sur une terrasse d'été.
A nouveau goûtée le 15 avril 2019.
Bue en bouteille DLC 13/03/2019
Nez de citron et de bergamote.
Robe blonde paille trouble.
Très fine mousse.
En bouche bergamote, citron et légères céréales.
Quite possibly the worst beveraghe I have ever approached. Utterly dreadful. It tastews like barrel sanitiser and synthetic banana flavour.. pack of cunts masde this.
Bottled 0,33L. Pale and unclear yellow color, medium bubbly aspect with discreet head resistance. Fresh and crisp citric nose, aroma is sweet and sour, lemonade, lime, pale yeast, grains. Pleasant prickly taste, bit citrus and citric palate, light alcohol perception, sweet and crisp yeasty and straw final.
Light and fragrant beer, with citrus and lemon fragrances and bergamot aroma background. Not unpleasant but nothing too special. Wouldn't buy again

Bouteille offerte par Saveur Bière. Aspect : jaune très clair, peu de mousse. Nez épicé/poivre/coriandre, pain. Bouche douce, plate, un peu piquante et aux goûts dominés par le citron et les épices. Une blanche quoi! :-)
At a tasting, thanks, big bubbly foamy fizzy head, a touch hazy and deepish yellow color, aroma of honey and lemonade, light bready wheaty flavor. Fair and drinkable.
Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Slightly hazy pale yellow with bubbly white head. The aroma has notes of spices, some lemon, lime, herbs and some yeasts. The flavor is mild bitter with notes of spices, wheat, yeasts, lime and herbal tea. Very carbonated, medium-bodied.
Bottle at a tasting. Hazy golden, huge head. Spicy, coriander seeds, citrusy aromas. Sweet, lemon zest, coriander, fruity, yeasty. Light-bodied, fizzy.
Spices and lemon aroma. Slightly hazy pale yellow color with small sized white. Sweet and spicy taste, lemon, tea and herbs. Thin body, soft carbonation. //keg at The Elk
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto da frumento e citrico. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare opalescente e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato torbido. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è non invadente. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, frumento, luppolo, agrumi, limone e bergamotto.
Robe paille voilée, mousse très abondante, mais une bonne partie part assez vite. Belle carbo. Nez puissant, typé Wit, avec pas mal de coriandre. En bouche, le zeste de citron et la bergamote ressortent assez. Léger côté acidulé du froment. Agréable et dans le style.
Jaune un peu trouble, légère mousse. Nez citronné acidulé avec medicament. Gout citronné, céréales puis médicament rapide et aqueux, astringence en fin de bouche.
Bière très fraîche, style hoegarden en mieux, ça vaut pas une blanche de namur mais très sympa qd même !
Bouteille 33cl
Mousse : Aérienne à grosses bulles
Couleur : Jaunes très pâle et légèrement brumeuse
Nez : Citron fruité, malt et épices entre piquant et végétal.
Bouche : Maltée avec forte saveur de citron et d’épices : bergamote / coriandre. Bouche très parfumée. Longueur et persistance sur ces même note avec un touche de blé.
Avis : Blanche anglaise au caractère Belge, très savoureuse et fruitée, saveur épicée bien affirmée. Pour dégustation ou rafraîchissement.
33cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Lille, France.
Hazy golden colour with a medium size white head.
Aroma is wheat, citrus, spices.
Taste is wheat, citrus, spices, sweet, yeast.
Medium body, average carbonation.
September 2017. Enticing, mysterious nose of Rowntree's pineapple jelly chunks, ripe peel, clove. Juicy, tangy and peppery with green herb coriander, pineapple and crystallised lemon. Surprisingly clean and ringing with authenticity. Clouded and thickly headed. Top drawer Anglo wit.
Tap @ The Three Greyhounds, Londen VII 2018. Verrek ze hebben witbier in Londen op de tap en niet eens heel slecht. Geel beetje witachtige waas erover gefilterd licht met fijne witte schuimkraag die blijft hangen. Lekker geurend ruik de verse gras. De smaak toch wel verrassend zo'n witbiertje in een standaard Engelse pub. Overall licht fruitig en zelfs af en toe een hint van trippel geur. Uiterlijk geheel niet verkeerd maar ook meer dan gemiddeld voor een witbier. Kortom een mooi witbiertje maar ook niet meer als dan dat.
Bottle. Pours a mid yellow colour with a fluffy white head, plenty of wheat and spice especially cloves in the aroma, medium bitterness and with a dry bitter finish.
03.08.2018 -- 0.33l bottle from geant casino in st louis, bb 07.10.2018. pours a hazy pale golden with a medium head and some lacing. aroma of candy, coriander, bergamot, perfume. flavour of bergamot, citrus, belgian yeast. ok.
Bottle 33cl, a cloudy golden beer with low head. Nose is on lemon like, some wheat touch, sweet like. Aroma is on the same, wheat and fresh bread notes, low body, till lemon notes, bit thin and boring.
Bottle, 330ml. Pale cloudy straw colour with no head. Aroma of candied lemon, clove, a little yeast. Flavour has wheat, a little citrus and barley. Tiny amount of coriander funk in the finish. A bit too sweet. Light carbonation. OK.
Dégustée dans un verre Saveur bière.
Robe jaune paille surmontée d'une mousse blanche moyennement persistante.
Le nez est sur les malts,agrumes et épices.
La bouche est à l'image du nez avec une petite note de bergamote nous laissant sur un palais assez sec.
Une bonne bière blanche rafraîchissante mais la bergamote est mieux dans le thé Earl Grey!13/20
Dégustée dans un verre "Saveur bière".
Température de début environ 6°.
Belle robe blonde translucide; mince filet de mousse blanche;carbonatation conséquente.
Nez plaisant : céréales, citron, houblons.
Goût agréable : malts, fruits, légère amertume mais manque un peu de caractère.
Palais de longueur moyenne et rafraîchissant.
Un bonne bière blanche classique.
13/20
