Medium to thick yellow head, dense, over faintly hazy copper-amber beer under lacerings. Fruity New World hops, with pineapple, grapefruit, herbs. Bitter, fruity, rosewater, resin, citrus. Not much wheat as I can detect. Finish has something strangely earthy/fungal, very present. Rather well-carbonated, slick, decent body. For a hopped Weizen, far from bad.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, big and stable and creamy off-white head; mild to moderate herbal-piney nose, a mild dash of caramel underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied, but pretty soft; lingering dryish grapefruity-hoppy finish with a slightly increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Good…

Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, BB 04/11/17, large sample. Hazy orange color, medium rocky head. Aroma is bit spicy, quite some grainy wheat, bit cereal, whole grain biscuit, bit banana and clove. Big sweet banana and vanilla milkshake in taste, together with whole grain biscuits. I dont get a lot of the hops they used, but I do like the combination of flavors. Dont like what has happened to the original owners, but theres nothing wrong with this beer. I like it.

0,33l bottle at home as part of Euro Local Swap courtesy of bierkoning, big thanks. BB 04/11/17. amber cloudy color, small off-white / yellowish head. smells belgian yeasty, citric, spices, light peach, light sweetness. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes malty sweet, some belgian yeast, spices, lightly citric, light tobacco, peppery, light candy notes. finishes sweet with notes of belgian yeast and spices. overall decent, but rather on the (malt) heavy side, some hops would be an improvement here.

hazy amber colour, huge, dense yellowish head; aroma of citruses, tangerine, banana notes, some wheat and toffee; well balanced taste of wheaty-citrusy sourness, some hoppy bitterness and fruity (tangerine)-toffee sweetness; I like it very much!
