Wheat beer by the nice guys who refer to themselves as Kale Ridders, one of their 'experiments' apparently. Steinie bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhandel. Firm and very stable, closed, moussy, eggshell-white, cobweb-lacing, textbook 'Belgian' head on an initially cristal clear, warm 'old gold' coloured beer, almost metallic gold, lightly hazy with sediment but remaining old gold. Sweet aroma of candy apple, warm waffles with melting powder sugar on top, ripe pear and even more ripe banana, bubblegum, sweetbread and 'koffiekoeken', dried camomile, clear iron after a while, melon, notes of pumpkin soup, lavender soap, cloves, faint straw. Sweetish onset, lots of banana isoamylacetate, bit bubblegummy, lots of sweet pear and a dash of Charentais cantaloupe, light sourish apple-ish edge, lively carbonation but not overcarbonated for the style; supple, bit sticky mouthfeel, tad resinous. Honeyish residual sugariness lies on top of a rounded cereally, 'white' bready, slick malt sweetishness with clear metallic edges - reflecting the iron note from the nose. Ends with very mild ethereally spicy aspects (vague lavender note even) over a rounded, malt sweet tail cleverly bittered by a noble hoppiness, hayish and a tad wormwoody, lingering on the root of the tongue for longer than I was expecting based on the aroma. Some retronasal sweet fruitiness is probably a mix of the special yeast strain apparently used with these hops. Dryish, bit peppery finish eventually, making up for the initial and aromatic sweetness, but the banana ester remains in place. Apparently intended as a lighter version of Tumulus Magna, in itself a super strong interpretation of the old Bavarian Hefeweizen - which technically makes this a Hefeweizen I guess. The lack of Belgian spicing accounts for that, as well as the pronounced 'German top fermentation' banana effect in the nose; still, this is altogether different, in being sweeter in the nose, way more hop bitter in the back of the mouth and lacking a bit in classic wheat sourishness (and soapiness, at least in terms of mouthfeel). Interesting, like a hybrid of Hefeweizen with standard Belgian blonde, a bit too sweet perhaps, but the sweetness is neatly balanced by the hop bitterness. The metallic aspect, however, bothered me a little bit, and so did the somewhat 'sticky' effect to the teeth. Nevertheless, another interesting product from these brewers, whom I tend to regard with a fair amount of confidence and attention.
