Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne.
Pours a very pale lemon-straw colour, extremely hazy, which makes it seem even lighter. Body is fairly light, but with a strangely gelatinous quality to it. Head is firm and solid and pure white in colour. Looks good overall.
Mild notes on the nose initially: slightly sweaty with a little dried orange peel perhaps. There's a hint os soapy cardamom that comes through as well—but to be honest, for a beer called "Spicemarket" it's pretty light overall.
Light, delicate spiciness does come through on the palate though. Definite cardamom through the centre, which mingles with more citrus to provide again a slight soapiness towards the back. A hint of mixed spice on the back with some pepper and lemon in the finish. Feel is light but fine.
Overall, it's pretty good. The spices are there by the end, and the work well with the witbier mould. While I can imagine a beer with the flavours more pronounced, it may not actually make it as balanced a beer as this.

Sri Lankan spiced witbier brewed for GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014. Tried there on tap.
Pours a pale straw colour, almost clear at the edges but lots of sedimenty haze in the glass. Cream-coloured head, retaining OK. Looks pretty good.
Smells... disappointing, for a Sri Lankan spiced witbier, as it smells like a standard wit. Orange with a touch of banana, coriander and some sweet cinnamon. Orange and spice. Standard.
Much more character on the palate. Coriander is retained with lots of interesting subcontinental spice. Orange underlying still with Garam Masala spice mix, notes of allspice and cardamom and even turmeric. Interesting.
Decent body but the carbonation is a little strong.
Decent twist on a witbier, but still not amazing. I've had more ballsy spiced beers.
