Light yellow and white in the colour.

Large head with a rough structure and a fine foam top.

Sweet fruit, some flowers and spiced hops in the aroma.

Medium strength aroma that has a real delicious sweet fruit to it. Subtle but very inviting.

I bought this Belgian inspired wit from Oslo Airport in Norway, the price was 4 Euro for a 330 ml bottle at 6,5%

Yellow, filtered, blank, like a pilsener. Not sure why they would filter a wit.

Good white head, fine foam that stays with a thick lid on the beer.

Light citrus notes in the aroma, comes off with faint with other notes.

Low CO2 when in the mouth, very sweet and maybe a tad too much, feels more than full-bodied from the high alcohol percentage. Good balance with the citrus and coriander. After taste is somewhat like candy, it should have been more like wit instead.
