Great beer, feels more like a cider or soda when you first taste it. More like a beer the longer you drink it. Odd for an old beer to have such a soda feel.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.5%. Slightly hazy and pale straw colour, huge to large white head. Classical witbier aroma of wheat, orange peel and coriander seeds, also hints of other mild spices in the yeasty notes. Citric mouthfeel. The medium dry and crisp flavour has the same elements as the aroma, low but noticeable bitterness with peppery notes.

Pours a hazy yellow, with moderate carbonation and a medium head. Smell is lightly sweet and moderately sour, and taste is of citrus with a light bitter finish. A bit more on the sour/bitter side than I had expected.

Wow, this one's not nearly a fresh can... a random cellar pull that I've had for some time now... and it's absolutely delicious. I've had a ton of Allegash White over the years, but this might be even better for my tastes. A superb representation of the style.

Copenhagen 4/5 2019. 33 cl bottle from Ølhandleren from Give (web-shop). The usual St. Bernardus monk with a great glass of Wit on the label. Looks almost delirious.
Pours hazy, golden yellow with a medium-sized white head. Stable. Settles as Thin layer of foam exactly covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is balanced between the sweet lemonade-like and the sour, tartness of unripe berries. Oranges, white sugar, citrus. Light herbal, spicy touch.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft texture.
Flavor is medium strong followed by a subtle, moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a light tartness.Lingers for a short while.
Nicely balanced and well-made.
