Director of Fermentation Pete toured the De Dolle brewery in Essen and was inspired by their fruity wheat beer. Drinkable, aromatic with hints of ripe fruit and spice. They are truly the 'mad brewers'!

On-tap at Haymarket for d0b's birthday bash. Served in a 12oz tulip.
A - A thin white foam settles some wisps and a thin ring of bubbles, leaving behind minimal lace. Transparent golden body.
S - Wheat, Belgain yeast, lightly phenolic, toasted grains, some fruity esters and lemony notes. Good amount of punch for only 4.5%.
T - The taste is initially fairly mild, but it grows as the beer cross the palate with notes of bread, wheat, toasted grains, and a bit of lemony hop, finishing with a hefty does of tangy Belgian yeast.
M - Light body that's a tad watery, particularly with the lower carbonation. Texture has a bit of chaffed wheat to it. Nothing unexpected from a table beer.
D - It's a nice session/table beer. Taste is surprisingly solid and potent for the low alcohol content, and the Belgian yeast character is well-integrated and pleasant.
