Copenhagen 26/8 2024. 33 cl bottle from Meny, Nordens Plads, Frb. F. Light blue version of the Steenbrugge brand with a colored window with a prist with a funny hat.
Pours unclear - almost opaque - pale yellow with a mid-sized white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as thin patch of foam floating about. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with some sweet pale malts mingling with distinct sourish notes. Sweet wheat malts, white sugar and lemonade. Hint of banana. Sour grains.
Medium strong carbonation. Thin, watery, lively and tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate tart sourish bitterness. Aftertaste is sourish yet bit watery. Lingers shortly. Finish is thin.
Decent and a bit generic.

From the tap at The Belgian in Adelaide. Probably served too cold to be optimum with food. But today after 90 degree heat watching tennis, I wanted refreshment and this was good enough. I also had eaten Indian street food an hour earlier and my palate still needed calming.
Steenbrugge's Wit Looks barely above average, mostly because its foam doesn't stay active long. Probably also a flaccid yeast because this Wit Smells of tree fruit, but not much other traditionals like orange and coriander. Tastes largely follow, balanced but not distinctive. Medium-mouthed. The wit is better as it warms.
I give cautious Overall Hugs because Palm is now owned by Swinkels who I'm still watching to see if they are as good guys as they say they are.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.0%. Hazy straw colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of wheat, dust, curacao orange peel and coriander seeds. Slightly sweet and citric flavour with the same elements, low bitterness.

Pretty average run-of-the-mill witbier in my opinion. It is not bad, but there are so many better options available in this category. Mostly outside Belgium for some reason. It is just too bland.

It pours a cloudy straw color, with a one finger head and banana and spice (clove and citrus) aromas. The spices are subtle here and there is a little wheat malt taste as well. Its medium light with above average carbonation. Some people might find the subtlety of spice and malt refreshing and drinkable while others might find it a little boring.

From the big bottle in a snifter, this wit pours a light hazy yellow with a quickly dissipating white head and no lacing. Nose of light Belgian yeast, some lemon and orange zest, and saltine crackers. Flavors are light with some light coriander flavors mingle with lemon zest and light wheat flavors with an herbal aftertaste. Very light and dry finish with a nice carbonated mouth feel. Improves vastly with warmth.
Not my favorite from this fine brewery, but still good for the style.
