Bottle from Bezoekerscentrum De Lambiek in Alsemberg. Herberg’s wheat beer, but it does not look like just another Hoegaarden epigone: instead of the standard hazy ’white’ colour, it pours a warm and clear ’old gold’ colour, with lively fizz, turning hazy with deposit; the head is thin, loose and egg-white in colour and breaks open quickly, but retains (thinly) on the edges. Sweet and fruity aroma of pineapple, mandarin, cider, bread, honey, orange peel, iron, something faintly cooked vegetable-like (DMS), floral hops, but I do not get coriander. Restrainedly fruity in the mouth, gooseberries, hints of apple and peach, soft carbo, smooth and slick mouthfeel, pleasant bready malt flavour with a light caramelly edge as well as an equally bready and somewhat grainy wheat presence - a bit sourish, but clearly not raw wheat, as indeed this one appears to be made with malted wheat, like a German Weissbier. Ends with this same maltiness, bready and lightly sourish, paired with some deep, leafy hop bitterishness with a subtle floral aroma retronasally; the hops provide drought and balance. This is not your stereotypical Belgian wit, this is a Belgian blonde made with malted wheat, and in that sense even a fairly enjoyable one; the sourish wheat brings freshness and has a quenching effect and there is enough hop presence to achieve balance. Nothing extraordinary, but likeable for sure.

Sampled @ Gents Bierfestival 2014. 330 ml. bottle. Hazy orange, creamy white head. Smells f soap, lemonade wheat, touch chemicals,.. Taste is sweet white sugar, chemical, soapy, lemonade wheat toffee, yeasty citrus,… Muddled wheat / lemonade / yeast body. Nope this didn’t seem entirely kosher, still drinks though.

Bottle @ home. Clear light to medium orange color, small white head that leaves good lacing. Smell and taste wheat and a touch of fruitpeel. A light citrussy fruityness towards the end. Average body and carbonation. Don’t think this is a Belgian White though.

Quite clear appearance for a wheat beer. A fresh, citrus hop aroma. A refreshing bitterness and a bit of peppery spice from the yeast.
