New wheat beer by Verzet, launched during their open doors weekend; 33 cl bottle with crown cap. Thick and very moussy, foamy, regularly shaped, stable, beaten egg-white, ‘papery’ lacing head over a lightly hazy, warm and pure ‘old gold’ coloured beer with very vaguely olive greenish tinge. Aroma of dried orange flesh, dried lemongrass, baked banana, ripe melon, butter, sweet nectar-rich wild flowers, white bread crumbs, flour, dried apple peel, vague soap, lavender, curcuma powder and jute bag hints. Crisp, fruity onset, green banana, apple and starfruit notes, clean and restrained in sweetness with a very soft, dim sourish touch to it; medium carb, soft and very supple, lightly soapy mouthfeel. Pleasantly bread crust-like malt body, a tad ‘powdery’, wheat flour-like, leading to a very floral, delicately aromatic, ‘sunny’ finish adding not only a bouquet of field flowers, but grapefruit and even light orange aromas retronasally. The whole remains soft, light and very elegant, as was the intention. Much more a modern Anglo-Saxon wheat ale than a traditional Belgian witbier or ‘blancheke’ – exactly what I was expecting from this progressive brewery; very well-made technically and nice label too. One of the best Belgian wheat beers I had so far, could easily drink this all day.

19/03/2018 - 33cl bottle from the brewery. First clear golden, than becomes cloudy medium head, sticky foam. Nose is lots of wheat, floral. Taste is wheat, floral, small hint of sweetness, spicy touch, dry bitter ending. Damn this is nice! Very long time ago I drank a nice tempting Witbier like this.
