La Houleuse est une bière blanche légère et fruitée. Le malt de blé lui donne un aspect trouble et une certaine douceur. Peu amère, l'adjonction d'écorces d'oranges révèle un parfum fruité et une fraîcheur en bouche. C'est une bière rafraîchissante idéale par de chaudes journées, pour un apéritif ou pour accompagner du poisson ou un autre plat léger.

Almost fully lucid straw beer with a faint haze only and reasonable carbonation that unleashes a cloud-white head that swells two fingers thick. The foamy mattress loses air fast and shrinks to a gossamer lacing on the surface.
This Witbier portrays a typical Witbier scent: wheat, of course, and spices like coriander seed and orange peel. I've had so many Witbiers with those elements present. I'm not sure if the majority of the Witbiers I've tasted have contained at least coriander, or not, but very common it is anyway. Lemon zest and a hint of yeast complete the rather fresh olfactory experience.
The taste doesn't make an exception either: lemon zest, lemon pith, wheat malt, coriander seed, orange peel and yeast. That's the popular story. Not bad though. The freshness declines but is still at a medium level, unlike some Witbiers that offer musty and closed flavors only.
The body is thin. The end tweaks in a bitter direction, yeast raises its head, so do the grassy hops. The citrusy elements are peel now. No orange here.
The mouthfeel is thin, refreshing, a bit crisp, pithy and spiced. A difficult beerstyle but a relatively decent sample of it.
