Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is my first beer in my new house and is a seasonal summer release from Flying Dog. Like all traditional witbiers (or Belgian style white as it is called here and elsewhere) it contains a large amount of unmalted wheat. I served this cold.

Appearance: Very effervescent but with practically no head what so ever. Straw coloured, looks a bit like appletiser.
Aroma: Smells a lot like that typical corn/musty peach that you find a lot in Belgian styles.
Flavour: Very fresh and crisp with vary mild flavours. Typical wheat malts with some green peach phenols. Not much in the flavour front, starts to taste like carbonated water after a while. Missing the citrus and spiced notes usually associated.
Body: Way to fizzy and watery.
Aftertaste: Still some wheat but that is about it.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4. Nothing offensive just not much flavour.
Price Range: £2.49 for a 355ml bottle, a bit too pricy.
Food Pairings: Something very plain like Asian style rice and steamed vegetables.
