3.0 From the Bottle at Tom’s Ultimate Glasgow Tasting, Blackfriars 01/12/2007 Hoppy aroma. Golden coloured hazy in appearance and slightly spicy flavoured. Some dryness in a crisp finish.

3.1 Hazy light gold, fruity yeasty aroma of malty, cirtus, melon and banana. Some spices develops in mouth. Flavour is sweet.

3.2 50cl bottle as Marks and Spencer Biere Blanche. Hazy straw with a billowing white head; spicy yeasty aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth with cloves and citrus flavours. Dry to finish. Very refreshing.

3.0 50 cl bottle as Marks and Spencer Biere Blanche. Hazy dishwater color with a fine white head. Spicey aroma. Seems coriander and clove. Flavor has clove and mild citrus. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Finish is moderately dry, with spice and perhaps a touch of banana.

3.0 Hazy, pale yellow colour, medium white head. Aroma has bread, citrus and yeast. Flavour has some spices and lemon. Finishes watery.

2.6 Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière est de couleur paille voilée et possède une mousse avec des grosses bulles qui disparaissent à vue d’oeil. Au nez des arômes de levure, de blé, de pêche, d’ananas, de citron et de miel viennent réveiller mon sens de l’odorat. En bouche, le corps est mince et les saveurs sont la levure fruitée, le miel, le citron et l’eau. Une finale sèche et peu amère complète le tout. Bière d’été raffraîchissante.

2.9 Bottle. Unclear golden colour with a little head. Aroma of bread-like, yeast and spices. Flavour of spices, wheat and becomes light.

2.5 white yellow coloured body with a creamy white head a fruity spicy aroma a sweet fruity spicy wattery taste and a wattery bitter finish

3.1 I tasted this bottled as M&S biere blanche. Pretty good, very fruity/citrusy, light and not too sweet. Lacks a bit of kick, but very fresh and drinkable - better for the summer, I’d say.

2.6 Bottle: Poured a white yellow with a mild whte head. The aroma is soft wheat with light citrus. The taste is very watery citrus with a lackluster wheat mixed in.

3.3 Bottle @ Yespr tasting.[thank you, Yespr] Pours a hazy pale yellow with a small creamy white head. Aroma is sweet, wheaty and some clear oranges notes. Good, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, otherwise well-rounded with good coriander and oranges - perhaps just a touch too sweet, otherwise splendid.

3.2 [Session @ yespr] Pale golden with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with wheat, coriander and orange notes. Sweet wheaty flavor with yeasty and fruity notes. Ends sweet.

3.3 33 cL bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours slight clear pale yellow with a yeast floaties. Ligth yeasty and mild orange fruity. Flavour is light wheaty and mild spiced. Finish is lingering yeasty and mild spiced. Nice.

3.2 Draught at Den Anker, Cape Town, South Africa. Hazy pale yellow. Vague citrusy nose. Light bodied and somewhat soapy with some malt sweeteness. Not much character, but fresh and very drinkable.

3.3 (Bottle) Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of lemon, wheat, coriander, and clove. Flavor of clove, wheat, orange, and lemon. A simple, refreshing, and easy drinking summer beer.

3.1 330ml bottle. Fairly standard Belgian wheat beer. Cloudy pale yellow with a big white head. Aroma of coriander, lemon and yeast. Sweet malt flavour with bitter orange, more coriander and some grain in the finish. Ok.

2.7 Straw with chunks of sediment and a huge, white head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of coriander. The flavour is sweetish with light notes of coriander and wheat. It’s OK, but the overall impression is a bit weak. 1913

2.9 Bottle. Cloudy yellow and orange. Flavours are clean wheat with lemon and soft spices, especially coriander. Flavours are light malts with wheat and caramel. Some thin lemon with spices. Refreshing.

3.2 Pale creamy yellow colour. Aroma is sharp and yeasty. Texture is a little thin and watery but the flavour is sharp, fresh and lemony. Quite acidic too.

3.1 Bottled(330ml). -Hazy pale yellow coloured, huge white head, fruity acidic nose. Quite lemony taste with weak wheaty and fruity notes. Lemon candy and touch of green apple in the finish and aftertaste.

2.9 On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Contrived aroma wisping of sacarrhin plum sauce and peach juice. Pours a grayish straw, totally clouded, with fast-fading rocky white head. Flavor is a washed out, thin and brightly sugared mess. Clean, but fakey and constructed of blandness. Bits of apple candy and almond powder. Backs out with a lightly metallic finish. Meh.

3.5 Bottle at the Hopdevil pub in Zagreb Poured a hazy yellow body with a huge, thick, creamy white head that went away at a slow pace. Strong, lovely fruity nose, banana, lemon, yeasty dust. Quite pungent. The taste isn’t bad either. Lactic, smooth, lemony, refreshing, somewhat dusty, very weak banana. Lovely. Underrated, and miles ahead of Celis and Steendonk, the other two wits available there.

3.1 Bottle. Hazy yellow color with a small, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, wheat, lemon, banana, fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (100907)

2.7 A rather run-of the mill wheat, bottled under the Marks & Spencer label. Citrus, wheat malt, all the elements are there, including a hint of the coriander. Not bad, but not anything extra, either.

3.0 bottle. Strawy yellow colour, slightly cloudy. Fruity with hints of lemon and spices (coriander) and orange zest. Refreshing.

2.7 Bottled. Hazy pale yellow body with a white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus, wheat and yeast. Flavor is same as aroma, rather standard Belgium wheat beer. Not bad.

3.3 Cloudy straw color with a foamy white head. Light bready flavor. Not bad at all.

2.6 On tap at Ortino’s Northside. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of lemon, some wheat, hint os Wit spices and on the light side. Flavor was up front lemon, some corriander, B Wit spiciness, some tart wheat, tingly carbonation and on the artificial lemony side.

2.4 Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, not much head. Aroma is spices, wheat and some malts. Flavour is quite the same, in a very acidic and very boring way.

2.3 suppa cads hotel lucky peier’s party shack afterparty! Alcohol was clearly evedent all through this bottle. Yeast as f, appearance was dreadfully looked like under milked tea. Not really a good beer in anyway.
