3.6 A bottle at the Cafe Bastille near Taipower Building subway; this one at 4.8%. Aroma: candied orange peel. Appearance: clear, light amber, practically no head. Palate: light-bodied and rather thin, soft carbonation; refreshing, well-balanced, predominantly sweet finish. Taste: medium-sweet, more citrus, a hint of lemon. Pretty good.

3.5 Tomada en Cervecer�a Kraken de botella de botella. Rubio turbio tipico de las cervezas de trigo no filtradas. Muy citrica. Refrescante. Bien

2.5 Bière blonde dorée assez claire avec un voile de mousse blanche. Au nez assez douce, un peu de céréales et de biscuits. Très claire en bouche pas trop de carbonation, un goût qui vient seulement en fin de bouche, bière très simple surtout rafraîchissante. Rien d'exceptionnel

2.4 Bottle @ home. Giallo paglierino opalescente. Aroma non molto intenso speziato, chiodo di garofano cereali, frumento. Gusto acidulo secco poco nulla amaro non molto agrumato, acidit� quasi solo da frumento. Spigolosa poco calda decisamente carbonata poco corposa. Non equilibrata solo parzialmente armonica.

2.8 Bottle at Bierbrasserie Cambrinus. Hazy golden with small-medium white head. Aroma is coriander, medium body, medium carbonation, and thin small-bubble lacing. Taste is grains, coriander, and esters.

3.5 A: Slightly cloudy straw with a big white head. N: Malty sweetness with quite a fair bit of orange peel. T: Slight pleasing acidic crispness. A bit of coriander, but it is the citrus peel that is front and center here. P: Thin O: Very enjoyable wit. Could probably drink a few of these in a row.

2.8 Bottle, 330 ml at Poechenellekelder, Bruxelles. Pours hazy golden, medium white head. Some fruity citrus notes, bit spicy, yeast. Light bodied.

3.2 Bottle. Hazy pale yellow in colour. Fruity (lemon-citrus). Spicy (coriander) and Yeasty. Soft and smooth. Tasty. Semi-sweet with mild tartness. Dryish finish. Easy drinking. (2008)

3.4 Couple of small bottles at home, chilled on a hot afternoon. Pours cloudy yellow with a thin head. Slight aroma of citrus and dusty hop. Initial sweetness leads to a very gentle bitterness. Lively and spritzy, turbulent. A slightly lactic, sour edge gives this a nice sharp and refreshing finish.

2.0 Lichtgeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is wat waterig met iets van citrus en koriander. Gemiddeld bier, er zijn duidelijk betere witbieren.

3.1 25 cl Bottle at home. On the balcony in the sun in fact, woohoo! Hazy cool pale golden with white head and lacing. Sweet malts, grains, lot of citrus, lemon, coriander. Bit soapy, grassy, light doughy. Medium sweet, under medium bitter and light tart. Under medium body. Looks good, tastes alright.

3.1 Bouteille. Nez de levures fruitées (citron et bananes, léger d’oranges), et épicées (coriandre, léger clou de girofle) et de blé. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen. Goût de levures fruitées légèrement sûres (bananes et citron) avec un moyen goût épicé de coriandre lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de blé légèrement sûr et d’un goût herbeux (foin) ainsi qu’une finale plutôt sèche, très légèrement amère de levures épicées. Arrière-goût moyen-court, légèrement sûr et amer de levures et de blé avec des notes de zeste d’agrumes. [notes 2006]

3.3 Leicht trübes goldgelbes Bier mit einer mittelgroßen weißen Schaumkrone. Geruch leicht fruchtig, hefig, helles Malz. Geschmack leicht fruchtig, trocken, hefig, leicht bananig.

3.7 Tap. Restobbiere, Brussels. Cloudy yellow. Dense, sticky, white head. Nice, lemony, grainy wit character. Hop spice. Taste is light, and spicy sweet. Hint of bitter. Fresh palate. Medium body. Short, dry, light bitter finish. Refreshing.

3.0 F: below average, not long lasting C: hazy yellow/golden. A: wheat, citrusy, coriander, malt, yeast. T: low to medium body, average/to higher carbonation, malt, wheat, coriander, banana, some decent bitter grassy tones on the palate, quite watery but for refreshing summer beer it is the advantage only.

2.7 Bottle from work. I don’t really like wheat beer but this isn’t bad. Pretty thin. Not too dissimilar from Hoegarden. Goes well with food. Light, fluffy and metallic. Bubble gum and lemons. Very light in appearance and not as cloudy or sweet as most wheat beers. Less filling, so you can drink more!

3.2 KØLF 150515. Golden-yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is citrus, coriander, wheat. Flavour is citrus, coriander, wheat, banana, malt, yeast, orange. Medium body. OK beer.

3.3 Een zeer traditioneel bier gebrouwen in de uithoek van West-Vlaanderen, een fiets- of wandeltocht is zeker aangeraden.

2.5 With a yeasty aroma and a light blonde colour this wit bier has lots to desire. It is quite crisp to the tongue and doesn’t linger long, but luckily summer is short in Belgium and we can get back to the hardy beers shortly.

2.9 25cl flesje via 8 Zaligheden, Maastricht Alcoholpercentage van 5% Uitgeschonken in Hoegaarden glas Uiterlijk: goudoranje, schuimkraag trekt snel weg Aroma en smaak: kruidig, fruitig als citrus en schil, tarwe/granig Conclusie: heb lekkerder wit bier gehad, mist wat diepgang in de smaak

3.1 Bottle at Delirium Tremens, Brussels. Cloudy yellow with medium white head.Lemon taste with some sourness.

3.2 Beautiful white persistent foam. This wit is inviting aroma of lime, wheat malt and other citrus. The taste is something peculiar to the type for which most wit has barely citrus like fruit flavor, featuring this wit also a delicate touch of honey and melon. Fruity overtone which imparts it with a lovely sweet filling. Incidentally it does not differ significantly from other Belgian wit, but the unexpected touch of fruit bearing it on a slightly higher level anyway. A lovely summer beer.

2.2 Bue en bouteille de 33cl chez Virginie Couleur blance, mousse et effervescence moyenne. en bouche attaque accide et citronnée fin de bouche sur le pain blanc.

3.2 330 ml bottle. Almost clear golden body with a dense off-white head. Nice, not very strong aroma of citric fruit, yeast and wheat. Flavor is nice and refreshing, Wheat, citric fruit, spices, yeast and rather light on the typical banana and coriander flavors. Medium body and OK aftertaste. A bit more citric fruity than expected, but very refreshing and pleasant.
