650ml bottle - not entirely certain how this one differs from their existing 'de Witte' witbier.

This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of thick streaky lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and gritty pale malt, a bit of edgy wheatiness, subtle orange and lemon citrus notes, some earthy yeastiness, indistinct table-top spice, and very tame leafy, weedy, and dead grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, some weak coriander and black peppercorn spice, ethereal domestic citrus rind, a hint of overripe banana, slightly phenolic yeast, and more well understated earthy, weedy, and floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is rather involved in its somewhat aggressive frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and more or less smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things move out of yer typical basement bar fridge temperature zone. It finishes off-dry, the still mixed malt ruling the lingering day.

Overall, this is one of the plainer offerings that this Belgian-oriented Lotusland brewery has yet to come out with - there's nothing wrong with it, however the spice, fruit, and even yeast, just seem so, well, muffled. At any rate, not hard to put back, by any means, but kind of forgettable by the same token.
