750 ml corked bottle, bought in France. ABV is 4.8%. Pale straw coloured, a faint haziness, large white head. Moderate carbonation in the glass. Very nice aroma of yeast, herbs and spices, hints of oak and alcohol. Very refreshing flavour, mild spices (coriander), light bodied. Pleasant beer.

7252 Marks & Spencer Bière Blanche Belgium Witbier 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

500 ml bottle, bought in a store at Cambridge train station, and drunk from the bottle (hidden in the paper bag, of course) just outside the station (I was not arrested). I still had time to notice that the beer was cloudy and pale, like a witbier should be. Aroma and flavour of a decent standard witbier, no worse than Hoegaarden.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

This is a very refreshing witbier, citrus and yeast aroma, pleasant flavour, subtle aftertaste. I liked it better bottled than on tap, should not be served too cold.

7255 Lindheim Maskat Wit Norway Witbier 2.7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

500 ml bottle, batch #488, from Coop Mega Jærhagen, Klepp. ABV is 4.7%. Slightly hazy and very pale golden colour, moderate to small white head. Distinct "perfumed" aroma of orange peel, chamomile and coriander (leaves rather than seeds). Citric flavour, again with "perfumed" and soapy notes of chamomile and coriander leaves. I am not a big fan of this one. Won't buy again.

7257 Baladin Sud Italy Witbier 1.1

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

330 ml can, as Birra Baladin Sud, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV 4.5%. Slightly hazy and very pale golden colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of wheat and very stale jam / marmalade, not good. The flavour is on the sweet side, again unfresh notes of stale jam and citrus, drainpour. Baladin should be ashamed of this one.

7267 Theresianer Wit Italy Witbier 3.1

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Stylish 750 ml bottle, shared with Tom at Øl & Mat-festivalen, Oslo. ABV 5.1%. Cloudy golden colour, moderate white head. Typical witbier aroma and flavour, notes of coriander and orange peel, hardly any noticeable hops. A hint of diacetyl is not what I want in a witbier. Drinkable, but lacks "bite". Boring.

7271 Gourmetbryggeriet WitBier Denmark Witbier 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

500 ml bottle, as Gourmetbryggeriet WitBier. ABV is 4.8%. Bought in Denmark. Very pale straw coloured, big white head. Distinct aroma of citrus / lemons, hints of coriander and cloves.

7272 Løkken Witbier Denmark Witbier 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV is 4.5%. Cloudy golden colour, big to moderate white head. Moderate wheaty aroma, hints of citrus. The flavour is fairly malty for a wit, with very moderate hops and a hint of citrus, but I don’t think any coriander has been used here. There’s a hint of "traditional homebrew" (maybe a slight infection?) in the finish. Drinkable, but certainly not the best witbier around.

7273 De Leckere Witte Vrouwen Netherlands Witbier 3.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

300 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 5.0%. Hazy pale golden colour, big white head. Wheaty and spicy aroma, notes of cloves and coriander (even though coriander has not been added, the spiciness comes from the yeast alone), also notes of over-ripe and decaying bananas. Soft mouthfeel, moderate carbonation in the glass. Clean and very refreshing wheaty flavour, with hints of bananas and a mild spiciness, not too sweet. Moderate hops in the aftertaste. Moreish - one bottle is not enough!

7274 Gourmetbryggeriet Blanche Denmark Witbier 2.8

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV is 5.0%. Crystal clear extremely pale straw colour, moderate white head. Fairly decent aroma of fruity (yes, apricots) and floral hops. The flavour is clean, crisp and refreshing with a moderate sweetness, but the hops are too moderate. The name "Blanche" makes you expect a witbier / bière blanche, but this is just another pilsener - not a bad one, but far from exciting.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Cloudy orange-golden colour, moderate white head. Pleasant sweetish wheaty aroma with distinct notes of oranges.
