The Efes was actually okay - quite good as a pale lager goes, i.e. bland but refreshing, with no cacky aftertaste or off flavours. this was clean, sweetish and fizzy, and would be sound on a hot day chilling out, if not exactly tasting of much.

Had nice tangy Ruddles County - off to the beer fridge/car boot...  :eyebrows:

Morrisons 'The Best' bottle conditioned ale (brewed by Freeminer) - not bad. Need more beer. :beergrin:

Is it worth seeking out? They sell Hoegaarden all over here, its not exactly cheap but easy to find. Have decided Hoegaarden is the shit, so if Wittekerke is similar I'll be checking it out.  8)

It's a Witbeir like Hoegarrden, but not as intense with the citrus flavors. It's good for the price, because it's a few bucks less the Hoegarrden. Plus, it comes in bottles OR cans.

If you like the citrus flavours, I bet you'd enjoy some of the current British IPAs, like Darwin Rolling Hitch or Belhaven Twisted Thistle. Citrussy as fuck, but not overwhelmingly bitter with a bit of creamy malt. Btw, what weizens do you recommend? Just getting into them after stumbling upon Weihenstephaner brewery.

Arse, there's no UK distributor. Maybe if I ask nicely someone can fetch me a couple of bottles back from France since they sell it there.  :eyebrows:

Drinking now: coffee, and water.

Nice one. I noticed Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier was ranked third, I got a few earlier today to try so looking forward to that now... :glug: :beergrin:

I think the Franziskaner Dunkel is better than the Helles Hefe.

BTW, Schwelmer was ranked 141's which is WAY under-rated IMO. There are beers there that don't deserve thier higher rankings.

Yeah, there are always a few under/overrated. I'll have to look for the Dunkel next time.

Starting off with a tangy pint of Taylor's Landlord. :glug:  8)
