Another from the Mikkeller box, this is described by them as a hoppy witbier, which to me is a white IPA. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A golden colour, with a pale straw coming out when held to the light; slightly murkey. The head is a thin white head.
Aroma: A funky note that you get sometime from wheat beers, there is also a slight spicy/chemical note, maybe with a hint of alcohol.
Flavour: You get a sweet mix of orange peel hops and malt that swirls over the tongue.
Body: Like the previuos one today, the beer is really smooth, full bodies, and perfectly carbonated.
Aftertaste: Lots of spicy esters with a little bit of that orange hoppy note.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, it is what it says on the tin, it's a hoppy wheat beer, with some of that Belgian spice note you sometimes get in wheat beers.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, A decent price and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Belgian style beers.
Food Pairings: I think the strong flavours from this beer needs something strong to penetrate, so I would go with something like a charcuterie board with rye bread and pickles (on that note a Rubens sandwich would also be very good with it).
