Our unparalleled Belgian wheat beer is brewed with local ingredients in accordance with our long-held family principles. Limburgse Original is unfiltered for remarkably vivid flavor. A robust white beer should be cloudy. Unfiltered for an unbridled flavor and finish. No extra fuss, simply delicious with its flavorsome touches of coriander and orange.

Unfiltered gold body under a large, fleeting, white head. Spicy, citrussy aroma stands out thanks to a solid dose of coriander. Moderately tart taste brings out the citrus along with some herbal hops. Dry finish with little bitterness. Light-to- medium bodied, modestly carbonated mouthfeel.

30ml. bottle in Vientiane, Laos. Pours a cloudy pale gold with a fluffy white head that lingers. Aroma of wheat and coriander. Slightly sour and spicy with coriander and light fruit to taste. Light but lively and refreshing. Rather impressed with this witbier.

Pours a hazy and very pale straw color with a short lived white head which turns to lacing. Nose and taste have hints of banana and orange along with mild spice (coriander?). This one has artificial sweetener in it...which is interesting and a little off putting coz you can taste it. Weird one!

Can, bb in 5m.
Looks like a witbier, of the light kind, foam typical. So far, so good.
Drive-by is pure orange peel... pleasant but a bit lacking in spiciness. Nose does not expand this at all.. no chamomile, little coriander.
Taste continues the orange..what is refreshing at first, gets boring. There is some requisite coriander. But instead of the raw grain silky mouthfeel from an adjunct mash and the note of raw wheat, there is too much sweetness, apparently trying to approximate the real thing. Spice is too subdued. Starts to feel like a well made version for those who look for an alternative to lemonade. Probably has commercial appeal, but not worthwhile for serious witbier afcionados.
Well done as such, even when cutting corners for this technically very hard style.

Pours a light fresh hazy body, topped by a small foamy head and certainly less flat than I had anticipated.
Aroma is full of zest, very very marmalade.
Taste is quite refreshing, more of that zesty character. Flavour wise it has a sharp pink grapefruit initial hit, with a dry and slightly bitter finish.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this, it is a better alternative to a blue moon or a hoegaarden in my opinion. I am not a fan of witte bier as a rule, but I may be persuaded to buy a few more of these for the summer.
