Cotteridge #3: 20th May 2017. Thanks for ths offering Theydon Bois (Colin). The bottled out a hazy yellow liquid by the time it got to me, made an effort to form a head, but failed. Nose was earthy, yeasty and slightly citrusy in nature. The taste was more interesting with a semi-sourness and red wine/red berries flavours coming through the initial yeasty and citrus notes. Not too sure barrel ageing a Witbier is the way forward, but this was OK.

Bottle shared @CWC III, thanks Theydon Bois, Cheers Colin. Pale yellow beer with medium head. Aroma is funky cheese and yeast. Taste is funky, dry lemon, malts and yeast. Ok.

Bottle at CWC III; hazy yellow pour with a frothy off white head, aroma has lemon and some light yeast, taste has citrus along with some red fruits and slight wood, yeasty backbone.

Bottle shared at 3rd cottridge convention 2017. Pale hazy golden colour with a thick white head. Aroma is yeasty and earthy. Taste follows with a slight sourness and slight citrus. Full body.

Sample at the Cotteridge Convention III 2017. Poured a hazy straw colour with a bubbly round head. The aroma is chewy yeast creamy light fruit. The flavour is moderate sour with a light watery dry yeasty vinous light tart fruit palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

*Bottel. Unclear yellow in the glass. Funky and earthy beginning. Straw, farmhouse funk, fruity. Grassy and straw, some lactic sourness, dry, tangy, funky. Hints of citrus. Very interesting and round. Nice with lots of flavour.

750ml bottled 11/2015, a manifold of cheery santés for supplying-me-with-fine-UK-belgo-ales-by-numbers idiosynkrasie. - Bref: if all Wit-inspired brews strayed so far off target to achieve this brett-delicate (over)refinement, "craft" will have made a qualitative leap in missing the mark. - Lovely wild burgundy, lacto whey working in accord with minimal wheat protein and orchard fruit (Marille, sweet nectarine, vanilla) aromas to achieve that recherché cheesiness, sour cherry buttermilk, announcing a PoMo "brett beer", barrel-aged for the upper register. - Changes gears into more superficial burgundy wheat sessionability, offering red berries and thin diluted quark porridge, suavely dried out. A refined far cry from Hoegaarden, Bernardus, Blanche de Namur et al. Went very well with fresh salmon steaks and creamy garlic tagliatelle.

750ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, diminishing, white head. Yeasty, mildly bretty aroma, hints of grapes, brine, mustard seed, white wine, mushroom risotto. Taste is tart-ish, dry, fruity, minimally tannic, notes of grapefruit, dried apricot, a touch of gin and juniper berry; bretty dryness, a furry, woody red wine touch. Pretty far from a classical Belgian Wit.

Bottled at the BBNO tasting at Smelteverket, march 3rd 2016. Cloudy golden body with a big white head. Aroma is citric with mild farmhouse spices, dry bretty fruit taste, wheat, with a mild zesty finish. Quite nice.
