Ons tarwebier (witbier) of zoals de Duitsers zeggen ‘ein hefe weißen’ is een zeer zacht fruitig bier. Kruidige geuren maar ook een zachte toon van banaan en kruidnagel is herkenbaar in dit type bier. De gist die wij hierin gebruiken is erg belangrijk voor de smaak van onze weizen.
Our wheat beer, or as the Germans would say, “ein Hefeweizen” is a very lightly fruity beer. Spices in the nose but also a soft note of banana and cloves are key characteristics in this style of beer. The type of yeast we use is also essential to our weizen’s particular flavour.

Bottle at Vrankrijk. Hazy dark golden with small white head. Banana, caramel, banana bread, brown bread, soft minerals, plums, rad el hanout. Over medium sweet with light herbal bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not that good, and sweeter than I prefer.

Bottle at home. Clear golden with white head that disappears completely. Loads of lemon, sweet malt base, lemon juice, acidic, some spices, cloves, light sour on sweet backbone. Flimsy body, low carbonation. A disgrace for the style. If this were my brew I’d be too ashamed to sell it. Atleast label it catpiss instead of weizen. --- Beer merged from original tick of Weizen (Heintje) on 21 Nov 2017 at 15:33 - Score: 4. Original review text: 2.2

0.33 l bottle from local AH as ’De Prael Weizen’, best before November 2016. Hazy, golden amber with a thin (very thin for a Weizen!), frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity aroma of banana and clove as well as hints of honey and vanilla. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy, minimally fruity taste of banana, clove, vanilla, honey and straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, minimally sourish, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent, not very special but easily drinkable and refreshing.

33cl bottle picked up from the grocery store. Pours a murky light orange with visible carbonation and not much head. Smells of citrus hops and bitter hops. The taste is quite bitter and has a weird vinegar sourness. Could be an infected bottle.

Pours hazy and cloudy light golden. White head. Aroma reminds of carefully treated Brettanomyces, in a way similar to Orval. Scents of yeast, cider, bread dough and lime. No banana aromas, as in many other white beers. Sheer acidity and tinges of sweetness and metallicity, but no bitterness. Very interesting beer.

Draught (De Prael, Amsterdam) - Hazy golden with a white head. Banana and lemon meringue in the aroma. Refreshing taste with banana, lemon zest and orange peel.
