Inedit Damm
Damm S. A.

 

Pours a cloudy, but not opaque burnished gold color. Thin, velvety white head forms, then dissipates leaving just a thin layer of residual foam. Aroma leaves a bit to be desired - it's got some light wheat notes, a bit of spice, coriander, licorice and citrus zest, but it is kind of muddled and subdued. The flavor makes up for the lackluster aroma with notes of sweet hay, coriander, orange zest, and and some black licorice. The citrus is really bright and plays a strong role in that flavor profile. Feel is light, a bit oily, but smooth and easy drinking. Bright, lively carbonation. Overall it's a nice witbier.

 

 

 

Smells distinctively of oranges and lemon. There is the traditional banana flavor of the Witbier here but there is also an orange flavor.

I tried this beer off the tapper at the Mercado De San Miguel near the old town square in Madrid . It poured a clear golden with white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base and grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

 

 

Inedit is a slightly hazy, pale amber beer with lemon highlights. The head is rocky, white, and shows decent retention.

Taking a sniff, Inedit smells like the softer side of the hefeweizen style. Meaning, I don't smell any cloves. I smell the yeasty aroma of fresh bread dough. There's definitely the obligatory hint of ripe banana. Buried in there somewhere is even the necessary hint of bubble gum. All combining to give the promise of a refreshing summer beverage.

On the tongue, clove is more present but only a little more present. Vague hint of cloves accentuates Inedit's up front dryness. Initial dryness is supported by fresh baked bread and ripe banana. The finish is an interesting combination of ripe banana and hints of peppery European hops.

nedit is a pleasant enough beer but it lacks the assertive character of a good hefeweizen. Also lacks the slight tartness a good hefeweizen would have to offer, helping make the beer more refreshing on a hot summer day.

 

The bottle is a great presentation. The taste did not meet expectations.

An interesting take on what I think is supposed to walk the line between a light Euro lager and a wit. A little dry at first, champagne notes soon acquiesce to a slightly more solid malt base. Quite tasty. Thanks Danny.

A pretty glam bottle for a 4.8% beer
L- Pale amber, very slight haze. Pours with 1Cm white fine-bubble head which holds very well.
S- A mild woody scent.
T- The woody scent^ carries over in the flavour, perhaps together with very mild spicing. It's medium to medium-dry, and there is a mild flourish of hoppy dryness in it's finish.
F- Mediummedium-dry means it has some presence and richness. This is effectively balanced by the hopping.
O- It's very drinkable, there is nothing strikingly out of place or balance but there is nothing particularly charismatic or memorable about it either. Underwhelming for the packaging, and certainly at the price.
Bought from WholeFoods, London W8 £5.49/750ml bottle, BBE: 06/2020 'L19 0201'

L: dark lemon drop, barely any foam
S: little zest, Belgium sugar
T: grassy, Belgium candy but not that sweet,
F: light mouthfeel, matches the style and flavor well
O: not bad, nothing to write home about, but nothing jumps out as amazing. Rather, a just a well done classic Belgium witbier

Drank on tap at Mercado San Miguel, Madrid

A - Pours a classic wit style. Cloudy unfiltered, laces well with a frothy White head.

S - Small grains and sweetness

T - A little disappointed with the flavour profile. It basically a subdued Hoegaarden

M - Medium body and low carbonation.

O - I was encouraged by the appearance but from there it lets you down.

 

Well, the basics of the concept are there, but this is not a particularly interesting Belgian Wit. Looks good, with a firm head, some decent lace. But. Not wheaty enough. Not yeasty enough. Not enough spice. Ordinary stuff.

 

Tiene una cabeza espumosa grande y que perdura por un buen tiempo. Es de cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma a malta y cítricos. En boca destaca la malta, especias y el cilantro.

500 mL can from the LCBO; best before Jul 29 2019 and served slightly chilled. Reviewed from notes.

Pours cloudy golden-blonde in colour, sporting one finger of lumpy, foamy white head that lasts for the better part of five minutes. By that point, it has been reduced to a frothy collar and a bubbly film upon the surface; a webbed pattern of lace has also been splattered about. Looks great, and the first few sniffs are also promising, featuring orange zest and lemon peel, backed by a clean, bready wheat malt sweetness. Mildly yeasty too, with hints of coriander and banana.

Not a bad little wit - there's some light sugar sweetness at the forefront, together with notes of bready malt and wheat grain. Citrusy orange peel and banana esters flavours develop by mid-sip, with the profile becoming yeastier towards the back end; light coriander and herbal notes precede a sweetish aftertaste that lingers for a moment. Medium bodied, with abundant carbonation that gives this brew a crisp, lively texture. Highly refreshing; something I could see myself drinking several of on a hot patio.

Final Grade: 3.61, a B grade. Damm Inedit is the best Spanish beer I've had to date. OK, you got me - that's actually not saying much, as I've tried a grand total of three beers that qualify... but in all seriousness I did find this to be a pleasant 'cerveza blanca' that I would not mind returning to occasionally, if I could find the darn stuff anywhere around here. Nothing to write home about exactly, but better than the macro witbiers for sure - give it a try.

 

Heavy wheat with mild citrus, Surprisingly good witbeer from this brewery.

500 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for $3 CDN. Canned July 28, 2018.

Appearance - pours a hazy pale golden color with two fingers of dense white head. The head fizzles off to a half finger of extraordinarily rocky head and lots of retention.

Smell - wheat, hints of orange and coriander, but much more sweet and perfumery than many in the style.

Taste - lots of wheat, some banana, hints of mandarin and coriander. Quite a bit sweeter than most in the style and that makes it sweet and creamy.

Mouthfeel - medium bodied, good but light carbonation and super creamy feel. Drinks really easily.

Overall - a pretty decent wit, better than I was expecting from the Spanish brewer, especially this being a Belgian style. Smell and flavor are average but the feel moves this up a notch.

A Spanish Wit? Weird. But hey, it's worth a whirl. Look is okay for the style, but there isn't as much head as I would like to see. Smell is sweet spices, fruity candi and some bubblegum. Flavor is extremely sweet. I can taste the candi strongly and then I do actually get some wheat, which surprises me. Feel is thin and watery. Finish is sweet and wheaty.

I didn't expect much from this beer and it delivered exactly that. A serviceable beer that was worth a try, but I won't revisit.

A 750ml bottle with a BB of April 2019. Purchased recently from Tesco. The label states that this beer is created by the Damm brewery and Ferran Adrià, former chef of El Bulli. Described as a wheat beer brewed with spices.

A: Poured into a tulip (twice). Bottle conditioned. A rich, hazy amber hue with intense carbonation and fine suspended sediment. Yields a huge head of fluffy white foam that lasts for a while before slowly subsiding to a persistent surface layer. Some lacing.

S: Aroma of fruity yeast with hints of esters, earthiness, mild banana, vague bubblegum, faint orange peel, spice, grainy wheat and a touch of breadiness. Understated but pretty good.

T: Tastes of earthy yeast with notes of mild fruity esters, subtle banana, light orange peel, spice, wheat, a touch of bread and faint leafiness. Pretty dry, followed by a very delicate bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with lively carbonation and decent body. Mildly astringent. Aftertaste of earthy yeast, esters, spice, faint banana, vague peel, wheat and a touch of leafiness.

O: A decent stab at a Belgian wit, though not as good as the best examples. Looks fantastic, while the aroma and flavour showcase subtle fruity yeast, mild spice/peel and grainy wheat. Decent body; a tad thin. It's a well-crafted brew, it simply suffers from a lack of depth. A slight amping-up of the flavour is in order. That said, it's refreshing and worth sampling.
