Thx! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ GBF 2018. Deep hazy orange, creamy white head. Nose is dull stale bread, sugar, fruity, leaves,… Too fizzy thin with poor bread, wheat, stale bread, sugar, soap, esters, far from impressive.

Clear to little cloudy beige blond beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable. Aroma: very yeasty, alcohol, banana, floral notes, perfume, weird... MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweetish start, very malty, banana, yeast. Aftertaste: slightly bitter, yeast, banana, bit oxidized, meh.

Pours unclear darker amber, but not nearly dark enough for a Dunkelweisse. Small white head. Smell is bit caramelly, mild wheat. Not as characteristic by the yeast as it should be. Taste is full, tad sweet, bit plastic, but not troublesome. Some caramel, bit wheat, tad to sweet.

Thanks to Craftmember for this bottle. Unspecified wheat beer with thick, creamy, densely lacing, snow white head and brownish peach blonde colour, hazy but completely murky with yeast deposit. Aroma of dough, chestnut, soapy wheat but subtle, earth, dried leaves, bitter honey, straw, apple peel, peach; a smaller bottle tasted earlier yielded strong DMS (cooked cabbage) but this was not present in a 75 cl bottle so I’ll take the latter as the basis for this rating. Soft, restrained fruitiness in onset, faint hints of apple and peach, quite crisp feeling with a soft mouthfeel, light and ’deaf’ background wheat sourishness, straightforward bready maltiness, yeasty to the point of becoming powdery in the end; low, leafy hoppiness without strong bittering properties, as usual in wheat beers. "Blanche foncée" in this case is basically the same as "tarwedubbel", rather than Dunkelweizen, and I do think that ’genetically’ this is more closely related to the Belgian witbier tradition than to the German Weissbier tradition.
