The Trickster is a light refreshing summer beer which is low in bitterness. Our contemporary twist on this traditional Belgian style beer is the use of mandarin peel in place of the usual bitter orange. It contributes delicate mandarin/cumquat top notes over the estery Belgian aroma.
Some development went into the fermentation process in order to deliberately exclude phenolic flavours (4-vynil-guaiacol or clove) in the finished beer.

Pours gold with a fading head.
Nose shows fair orange peel and light sweet malt.
Pretty similar flavours. Sweet malt, orange peel.
Meets the essential criteria but pretty non-descript.

Sweet and grainy with a bit of clovey spice. A hint of wheat tartness and orange.
Pale gold colour, slightly hazy, no head.
Sweet but nonetheless watery. Some spicy notes and a hint of orange come through along with wheat but it isn't anything special.
Medium-full body with moderately high carbonation. Disappointing.
This witbier lacks the full depth of flavour expected from the style. The aromatics themselves are right but the execution lets the beer down.

This pours a golden colour with a finger of head but there is very little retention. Clear.
Lovely bubblegum aromas with a touch of lemon in there as well.
Not sure how to describe the taste. A bit of banana. The bubblegum is there too. Doesn't really do it for me.
Light bodied.
It's ok but certainly not the best wit I have ever had.

A - Pours a clear light golden colour with a couple of centimetres of white head that falls away fairly quickly leaving a sporadic touch of lace.
S - Lemony & bubblegum are the first noticeable aromas. Slight grainy sweetness.
T - The taste is dominated by the wheat malt content. However there is an underlaying plasticy/chemical taste. A bit of banana too.
M - Fairly light bodied, medium carbonation, crisp finish.
D - Not horrible but certainly not something I'd rush out to buy again.
To me this is much more like a Kristelweizen than a Belgian Witbier.
