Hazy pale golden colour with a modest head. Smell of cloves and herbal hops. The taste is clovy and yeasty, with some hints of fruits like banana and peaches. It tastes a lot more umami than the average Hefeweizen for me though. There is also a nice diverse malty profile present, probably due to the different kinds of grains they've used. Aftertaste is mildly bitter, like a (very) gentle IPA. Mouth feel is refreshing and medium-bodied, but not as smooth as a Hefeweizen should be. Interesting twist on the Hefeweizen style, but hardcore Hefeweizen fans might beg to differ.

 

330ml bottle. Opaque, orange colour with thin head that quickly reduces to a ring. Aroma is vaguely of canned peaches. Light tropical fruit plus some wheat & yeast flavours. Light body with moderate carbonation and bitter finish. Funky AIPA/weizen mash-up with characteristics of a saison. Interesting but not great.

Hazy golden colour, small head with short retention, fine lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, resins, some citrics. Medium body, oily texture, not much carbonation. Taste is similar to aroma, tropical fruits, resins, some caramel and citrics. A wheat IPA. Nothing special.

 

 

 

On tap at Bondgenoot Craft Beer Festival. Hazy pale yellow (like a nectar), with a white head. Bananas, hop bitterness, a bit of pineapple and a harsh brett-like bitterness in the aftertaste.
