Bavik Super Wit
De Brabandere

 

 

 

Hazy and pale with a nice white head. Orange peel really comes through in the aroma, backed by coriander, a touch of pepper, and a soft wheat twang. The taste has a light fruity sweetness up front, but dries out by the finish. More orange and wheat flavors come out in the taste. NIce.

11.2oz can. Poured out a slightly hazy, golden yellow color with a small, fluffy white head of foam. It left minimal lacing. It smelled of coriander, wheat and lemon. Sweet wheat taste with spices and yeastiness.

 

I do love the light hazy straw color. Limited head, limited carbonation. It's just a bit rough around the edges. Notes or oranges and really not much else.

330ml can - $3.24 at GBX (Greenville Beer Exchange) in Greenville, South Carolina.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, gold-hued body with a frothy, white head.

Smell: A light golden wheat scent with a light touch of implied cereal sweetness. Mild orange peel, not much in the way of coriander, even with a bit of warmth.

Taste: Easy-going wheat with a powdered sugar sweetness. Light orange though it has a bit of Tang drink mix character to it. Very subtle coriander. Albeit still light, some more of the wheat and orange for the sweetish finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-soft carbonation.

Overall: Leans pretty light throughout all its qualities. Although refreshing, nothing particularly stands out.

 

Smells boozier than it is.

Poured from 330mL can into my Bell's tulip. Can is dated 5/22/25 -- guessing that's a best-by date.

Appearance: pale golden-yellow hue with a dash of haze and a pretty minimal head of frothy white foam.

Smell: lightly sweet aroma with what I fancy is a dash of wheatiness. The coriander and orange peel come through nicely, and I find it more balanced than a lot of other witbiers.

Taste: wheaty malt with a decent coriander and orange peel flavor. It's got a bit of a rougher edge than the aroma, but still, it's good. And it might be my imagination, but something here comes through as ever so slightly minty.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a reasonably solid witbier, although perhaps not one that'll ever be a go-to for me.

 

Decent wit, kinda bland

 

 

12oz can from Boise Co-op. Cloudy golden pour, fizzy white foamy head recedes to a lasting layer. Aroma is French bread, faint citrus. Taste is bready with a lemony edge. Light on the palate with a quick finish.

 

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper, canned December 17th 2022. Oh boy.

It pours a mostly clear straw gold with a fine head of foam, plenty of lacing.

The smell is wheat, hints of coriander and banana. Spending time on a warm shelf did no favours for the beer.

The taste is wheat, very faint notes of coriander and banana...muted because of the age. Only things that held up are the appearance and mouthfeel.

Darn it.
