Wheat beer by this microbrewery in Amel, a place I never heard of until I visited it between Christmas and New Year's Eve last year - situated in the German speaking part of Belgium. Strangely, the ingredients list mentions only barley malt, while the front label clearly states that this is a wheat beer (and the name leaves nothing to the imagination either) - an error, I guess? Longneck bottle from the local Delhaize there. Medium thick, snow white, shred-lacing, stable head over a hazed apricot blonde robe with pale yellowish tinge. Aroma of drying white bread, banana, unripe pear, chewing gum, cold vegetable soup, coriander seed, clove, raw button mushrooms, chicken 'bouillon', spoiled potato mash. Spritzy onset, sharp carbonation adding a lot of minerality through impressions of unripe pear, green apple, slight pineapple and green banana - fruity alright, but not very sweet, with even a clear, quite persistent sourish layer underneath; supple white-bready core, slick and sourish edges clearly from wheat, quickly flavoured with a lot of coriander and the obligatory curaçao (dried - bitter - orange peel). Hop bitterness is quite strongly developed here and gets in the way of this classic 'Hoegaardenesque' spice combo, working against it and winning in the end, while the wheat silently fades in this hop bitterness, paired with earthiness and lingering 'dirty' yeastiness. 'Blanche' the Walloon way, a lot earthier, more bitter and more 'rough' than the typical Hoegaarden epigone in Flanders (or, worse, Holland), but all the more interesting for it. I do find the spicing too strong, though: how about omitting it altogether and let the hops speak? This would be a bit of a rearguard action, I guess, because all of this has been said and done already a long time ago, but for local ultra-Belgian purposes, I think this Triticum should be made either less spiced, or less hoppy...
