Appearance: Pours a hazy yellow gold with a staggeringly large, fine-beaded snow-white cloud-top head, with superb retention. Abundant Belgian-style lacing adorns the glass wall. Profuse streams of carbonation drift lazily to the surface, There is quite a bit of suspended sediment; fine streams of carbonation drift languidly to the surface.
Aroma: Coriander dominates the aroma, with notes of orange rind and wheat malt, in all classic for the style.
Taste: The taste begins with strong notes of coriander and wheat malt, and a solid note of white bread. As the taste progresses, the orange rind rises, adding depth to the taste. Towards the end of the taste, there is a mild bitterness, bringing forth a graceful finish.
Mouth feel: Quite full, very soft and pleasant, with a whisper of soft carbonation.
Drinkability: In all, very nicely done, very much in the Witbier style.
Presentation: Packaged in a standard 330 ml (11.2 ounce) brown glass bottle, with a pry-off crown, served in a La Fin du Monde tulip.
Sourcing: From the Aldi 2021 Advent Beer Calendar. Drink by date of: 06/24/2022.

Poured from bottle into tulip, 1+ finger cream colored head, recedes quickly, so so lacing. Pale hazy golden in the glass. Yeast esters dominate the nose, smells of juicy fruit & citrus. Taste follows the nose, sweet malt in the front, juicy yeast esters, good orange/citrus in the middle. Finish is crisp, carbonation keeps it interesting. There is a lingering orange candy left on the palate after the finish. Aldi calendar started strong, sagged in the middle and is picking back up.

From the bottle contained in the Aldi Advent Calendar, it pours a hazy light yellowy amber with a large white head that slowly reduces. In the nose, it is fruity with a bready base. in the mouth, it has a light spice background, with a malt up front. Enjoyable!
Also in the 2021 Aldi Advent Calendar!

330 ml bottle with a BB date stamp on the label (28 October 2021) of nearly a full year from today.
Pours with a cloudy, pale golden body with a decent white head.
Pleasing, highly fruity aroma that has a fine bready aspect and is somewhat suggestive of a fruit pie.
Flavor. Tasting reveals a clear suggestion of oranges with notes of melon, peaches and apricots. It hits the tongue lightly sweet but is lightly bitter and subtly tart by the finish. Bready notes fade into the background.
Feel. Medium-light body with lively carbonation.
Overall. Fruity, refreshing, clean and interesting/complex.
