As Hillegoms Weizen, apparently the new name of this beer, being intended as a classic Bavarian Hefeweizen (but adding oat to the malt bill, untraditionally). Thanks Craftmember! Mousy, egg-white, medium thick, slowly opening and eventually dissipating head, misty warm pale orange-hued peach blonde robe. Aroma of ripe peach, red apple, soap, cooked pear, vague nutmeg hint, ripe pineapple, some banana, white bread, honey, cloves, very vague accent of cooked meat-like phenols. Sweet, fruity, estery onset, touch of banana but more peach- and pineapple-like, quite pronounced wheat sourishness underneath, medium carbonation, slick bready maltiness, sweetish, touch of floral hops in the finish but remaining low in bitterness, phenolic accents but less clove-like than would typically be the case in this style, lingering sweet fruitiness and wheat sourishness. Refreshing, rounded, fruity-sweetish interpretation of the style, not quite precise in its German Hefeweizen intentions, but quenching and well-made.

Bottle shared thanks to Deanso. Clear golden with white head. Clear golden, at least until I poured the yeast in. Nice white head. Cloves, lemon, plastic, some dough, diesel, pils malts. Over medium sour lemon and under medium sweet. Some light plastic bitterness. Medium bodied. The sourness is not the worst, the plastic notes are quite bad.

On tap at the brewpub as ’Klein Duimpje Weizen’. Hazy, straw yellow with a white head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy and a bit fruity aroma of wheat, clove, some banana and lemon. Sweetish, moderately yeasty-spicy and a little fruity taste of wheat, cloves, lemon and a touch of banana, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little sourish, moderately yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Refreshing!

Bottle, 0.33l, courtesy of Bongtribe. Pours hazy deep golden color with large soapy white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of wheat, yeast, banana and grass. Taste starts light sweet grainy, follows by refreshing citrus and hint of banana, mild spicy mouthfeel and mild bitter finish. Light to medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Very decent hefeweizen...

330ml Bottle (Thanks Benzai) - Hazy golden with a small white head. Lemon, banana, spice and a hint of must in the aroma. Tangy and very carbonated taste with cloves, banana, lemon and pineapple detected. Quite an unusually high about carbonation, at least compared to what I am used to. That doesn’t detract from the enjoyment, though. Very refreshing.
