Brasserie Guyanaise Jeune Gueule Weïti – Witbier at 5% ABV

Brasserie Guyanaise Jeune Gueule Weïti Witbier at 5% ABV (2014 Advent Calendar #18, 330ml, best before 04/2015)

Pours hazy straw with one finger of foamy white head, good retention, no lacing. (3/5) Nose is yeast, citrus, floral, spices. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Light body, lively carbonation, off dry slightly astringent finish. (3/5)

Looks, tastes, and smell fairly lemony, instead of the reported orange peel. There’s something in the nose that doesn’t exactly thrill me – not sure whether it’s a floral or spice note, but it almost smells like soap or detergent. It’s not overwhelming, though, and the beer as a whole is by no means terrible. (12/20)
