Wieckse Witte
"This is a pale, hazy wheat beer from Dutch brewer De Ridder (a subsidiary of Heineken, would you believe), also available in 250 ml bottles. It has a complex, slightly tart aroma with light, zesty fruit (oranges and lemons) and spice notes (coriander, with maybe a hint of cinnamon). The palate is very clean and refreshing, maintaining the complexity promised by the nose and adding a touch of light hoppy bitterness. In addition to orange zest and coriander, there are distinct honey and vanilla notes. All of this fades subtly into a citrus fruit and vanilla aftertaste, although there is an unexpected touch of roast chestnuts just before the finish. Despite having honey in the taste, it is a fairly dry example of the genre, and its moderate strength combined with its light, refreshing drinkability make it an ideal summer session beer, whilst being an exceptionally complex and interesting drink."
...............which don't mean fuck. It's going for half price this week in the supermarket round the corner.
