Interesting sour aroma. Swirling wheat pour, hypnotizing with that gunk on the bottom. Light like a darker lemonade. Odd aroma on top of the foamy head too, like sour berries. Tart and enjoyable, friendly and fun. That is how it starts off with the taste buds. Oh yes, there is the orange peel, more orange flavor in here than I’ve ever tasted in a witbier. The orange comes across better than many that have a lemon edge. Quick carbonation that fades quickly after tongue impact. Sour smell continues and even affects the taste! Grassy and flavorful like those sour clovers that you can eat. No bitterness detected in the flavor or palate. Almost as smooth as many sour apple flavored soda pops. Certainly is wonderful, as the description implies.

75cl bottle at Schouskjelleren (batch 835). Pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of citrus, spices, wheat and hops. Medium sour and citric with a dry finish. Very nice and refreshing!

The beer pours a murky light good color with a substantial amount of foam on top. Aroma is wheat, yeast, funk, light citrus, and weak spices. Mouthfeel is a tad thin. Flavor is all over the place with nothing taking a dominant role. One easily forgets the style while drinking this.

Pours an insane amount of foamy bubbly head. Has a hazy yellowish golden appearance. Aromas of wheats, yeast, grainy malts and citrus hops. Flavours are similar but with a much more sour feel to it. Citrus and resin hop flavours abound. Orange peel notes. A bit of a tarty mouthfeel. Above average retention. Very excessive carbonation. Seems to explode in your mouth. Just seems to be something a bit off.

Great looking artistic label that reflect well the crafty brewery. OK, maybe I should of not tilted that bottle to get the good stuff at the bottom of the bottle. Complete volcano occurred with the heavy carbonation. Cloudy amber-yellow colour with a crazy foamy head, long retention and some soapy patches. Not expecting this big sourness, as thought this was a witbier. Lots of citrus with the lemon notes, and even some apples. The taste is still sour, but not as much. Craft brew yeast mostly with some mild fruits (previously mentioned). Crafty yes, but really not what I was expecting. Not one I would try again, especially for the price. Not sure if this is infected with this sourness that should not be in a witbier. Did I mention, not a fan ?

The beer pours a hazed golden orange with a generous long lasting off-white head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is funk, tart citrus, grains, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with higher than average carbonation. The flavour is funky wheat, with hints of citrus and spices. Didn't live up to the hype.

Funkiest Wit I've sampled to date, but it's all done in the standard Jolly Pumpkin fashion. Cloudy orange yellow pour with a billowing head and a thick coating of lacing. Orange, lemon, spices and the infamous tangy JP yeast all create a mildly sour, tart and refreshing rendition of a Belgian Witbier. Very approachable and enjoyable.

A cloudy yllow colored beer with a big frothy textured white head. There's some hang time. It settles into a thin ringlet. Musty, lemony nose. Nice tart flavors with coriander spicing it up. Bubbly and crisp. A nice summer drink.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Hazy yellowish golden colour. Medium white head. Aroma is sour and acidic along with wheat and yeast. Flavour is sour and slightly acidic wheat, yeast and spices. I could believe this actually was Belgian.
