On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Cloudy orange-golden colour, moderate white head. Pleasant sweetish wheaty aroma with distinct notes of oranges. The flavour has also notes of oranges, coriander is less prominent. Noticeable hops in a moderately bitter finish. Not too sweet. A quite enjoyable brew.

Think this has to be one of my favourite. Pours a rather cloudy yellow. Smells of herbs, grass, cloves, banana and oats. Can taste the wheaty and fruitiness of the beer with additional notes of spices that really put this above others I have tried. Had this multiple times. Leaves a strong wheaty and spiced flavour in the aftertaste.

Can. Light hazy orange. Scummy head.
Sour spice aroma. Yeasty. Some peel present.
Cardamom, coriander and banana like flavour. Bile like finish.
Soft carbonation. Quite refreshing.

Golden witbier with minimal head. Aroma is standard with herbal citrus and mustiness. Flavour follows on with coriander, clementines, peppery spice, earthiness and yeast; more zest than I was expecting. Feel is carbonated and light with a refreshing dry cripsness. Overall nice.

A - Golden color with amber tones. Hazy. Pours a fairly thin head for the style.

S - Upfront is orange peel, a little overboard in my opinion. Coriander is also fairly pronounced. Behind them general spicy Belgian tones, and some fruitiness. Malt character is far in the background, with some grainy tones. can't detect the hops. After sitting for a while, I also think I get a hint of both diacetyl and fusel alcohols.

T - The taste is more dominated by spices then the aroma. Fairly early I can tell this is going to be dry, and the finish delivers.

M - Nice creamy mouthfeel. Medium body that initially delivers, but turns watery. Medium carbonated.

O - For a witbier, I think this beer is too generous with both the oranges and coriander. I also think the yeast driven flavors are too phenolic, and lacks fruit character.
