[2] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/14/2008 1:34:15 PM)
"I was expecting something similar to the Hoegaarden Original White and I was not disappointed. In fact, I felt that the St. Bernardus was a better beer all-round. A nice hazy golden yellow with a frothy white head. The aroma was citrusy, spicy, with some malted wheat for good measure. The flavour was smooth and rolled on right past bthe tongue and down the chute. Nice lookin' bottle too. "

[3] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/20/2008 8:02:14 PM)
"330ml bottle
5.50% ABV
I tried this beer on May 20, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy yellow orange with a finger-thick white head that lasted throughout. The aroma was yeast, malt, and spicy sweetness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and highly carbonated, almost sparkling. The flavour was wheat, yeast, and some sweet malty tones."

[4] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/15/2008 4:31:06 PM)
"It's been awhile since I had a nice wit, so the delicate nature of this one caught me by suprise. The lemony yeast character was constrained and balanced by a stream of spices and sweet fruit. The appearance was a dull yellow, cloudy with a nice fluffy three finger head. Mouthfeel was spritzy and bubbly, with a clingyness to the tongue. Flavors were mostly citrus, spices and a nice sweet malty crackerness to it. Very nice."

[5] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/24/2008 2:14:52 PM)
"Pours a hazy yellow, almost cream color topped with a huge thick creamy white head. Subtle fruity hints in the aroma along with vanilla and some yeast. Tons of frothy lacing left on the glass. Light-bodied and refreshing. Some banana, lemon and a touch of spice come out in the flavor. A good beer, the flavors seem to mix well. No true one dominant flavor. Perhaps a tad thin in the mouthfeel but nothing major. This was the first of a six variety pack I purchased from St. Bernardus and I am pleased with this one. I look forward to the other 5! "
