A Dutch saying says ‘Keulen en Aken werden niet op een dag gebouwd’ which literally translates as ‘Cologne and Aachen weren’t built in one day’ the equivalent of 'Rome wasn't built in one day.' That’s right, it might take a while but here it is, a superbe Imperial Hefeweizen with tones of banana in a background of the freshness from the Saaz hops (dryhopped) It’s a one off. (most probably)

Cloudy golden colour with a moderate white head. Nose: esters, banana, candy, floral and spicy. Full body. Soft carbonation. Taste: well attenuated. Rich esters, banana, perfume, warming alcohol. Nice stuff.

Bottle 33 cl 25-09-2018. Orange orange color, a bit hazy, good white foam. Aroma: floral-spicy-grassy shades of Saaz, dense wheat-malt background with a banana and a crispy baguette, a bit berries. Taste: unusual, banana and baguette, strawberries, grass and herbs, bitter finish, warming, interesting and not bad.

Tap at Arendsnest, 10th October 19. Pours slightly hazy. Aroma is medicinal, herbal and barrel. Taste is a bit muddled, sour, herbal, wheat, banana. It’s not a nice drink for me.

Clear orange beer, small creamy dense white head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, melons, banana, sweet, yeasty, meh. Not very pleasant. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of alcohol, bit sourish, yeasty, bit smoky almost, more acidity shining through. Aftertaste: malty profile, lots of grains, hay. Not a big fan...
