22 oz. bottle poured into two goblets. Thanks for BennyL1 for this. I split it with my wife, as she's a witbeer drinker. This is as much her opinion as mine.
Appearance - Hazy straw color. Opaque. Big head, but it's gone instantly. No lacing at all.
Smell - It smells intriguing. Orange smell with some spice. Some yeastiness.
Taste - The taste isn't bad for the style, but it's not much. Again, orange peel flavor with some spiciness. I can't specify which spices, really, but that's probably my palate's fault more than the beer's. It has some hop bitterness in the midrange that becomes apparent when the aromatics die off.
Mouthfeel - High carbonation that drops off quickly. The finish is extremely dry, which is par for the style I guess. Light bodied.
Overall - Well, it has good flavor for a witbeer. But it's a witbeer. Refreshing with a nice flavor and quite a good aroma, but not anything jaw-dropping.

Copenhagen 2/5 2016. 35,5 cl bottle (12 oz) from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh. Ø. Fruit tree with big clown shoes on the label.
Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Very bubbly and quickly diminishing. Settles as a 0,5 cm thick layer of foam. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is sweet lemonade with tart citrus notes. Sweet wheat malts mingling with tart lemon.
Medium strong carbonation and watery palate. Lively texture.
Flavor is pretty standard witbier. Sweet and easy to drink.
So uncomplicated that you almost could call it "simple".

From the can in the 2021 Clown Shoes Christmas pack, it pours a hazy amber color with a nice head that slowly reduces. The nose gets spices and light malt. The mouth gets a light malt flavor with spice. Smooth feeling and easy drinking.

12oz can, tulip, best by 1/31/22.
Hazy gold with a medium head that’s faded quickly.
I’m immediately reminded of Shock Top. It’s got bitter orange peel and coriander, the usual stuff, and soft wheat.
Very similar in the mouth. Spiced orange peel and wheat. It finishes with a lingering bitterness.
It’s light, pretty spritzy, and finishes matte.
Good flavor, definitely reminds me of Shock Top as I think I mentioned.
