Tumulus Magna is a strong wheat beer inspired by the German “Weizen” wheat beers, but with that something extra. The use of 4 different malts results in a light amber colour and a natural cloudiness, since Tumulus Magna is not filtered. The hopping of this beer is done with the finest Hallertauer hop flowers. Tumulus Magna is a top fermented beer with refermentation in the bottle, enabling a favourable evolution of the taste pallet. Brewed since 2008.

Bottle at Metafoor, Leuven, Belgium Saturday 28th April 2012 Pours light amber with a white head. Hoppy aroma and this is a great hoppy beer, that retains a pleasant bitterness throughout. Soft in the mouth with a light spiciness and yeast also shows. Damn good beer, some light sediment in suspension, but this is a very good beer. A6 A3 T8 P4 Ov16 3.7

Bottled 330ml (BB 05/2013, Tuulensuu)
Murky orange color, lots of floating yeast, steady small white head, lace. Sticky fruity-yeasty aroma, some apricot and alcohol. Medium to almost full bodied. Fruity, yeasty, lots of alcohol, some bitterness, Sweetish. Good De Proef quality but quite standard strong triple with excessive yeastyness.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 12.05.2013
Aroma is fresh with fruity hops, citrus, orange and vanilla. Flavour is a bit tripel-like with citrus, orange peel and hints of spices. Belgian blonde that could be a tripel also.

Garde ce profile fruité orangé comme indiqué en arôme, le tout sur une pointe de levure épicée en fin de bouche.

17/I/2012 - 33cl bottle @ John's place - BB:2/XII/12 (2012-60) Thanks to Stijn for sharing the bottle!
Cloudy beige to amber beer, big solid creamy head, stable. Aroma: very fruity, some flowers, bubble gum, candi sugar. MF: lots of carbon, full body. Taste: fruity, candi sugar, bit soapy, bread, sweet malts, some banana. Aftertaste: bitter herbal, some spices, nice long lasting dry finish. No idea why they are calling this a "Weizen"...

Stable, if small yellowish head over straw-tinted golden clear beer. EU-hops main feat in the nose, if not really dominating - bit sub-mouldy grain, herbs. Again the EU-hops to the fore, if more lively than in the 800. Bitterish, but lacking serious maltbacking. Medium bodied, very rounded finish. Well, yes, good for the EU or local hopfarmers, but for the drinkers? I don’t get what the "revolutionary" yeast did for innovation...

From tap at ZBF2011. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and slight cornish. Phenolic, slight sweet and light caramelish flavoured. Bitter and slight fruity into a mixed hoppy and yeasty finish.
