troebel licht geel bier met, heftig schuimend tijdens inschenken. Veel depot bij het laatste glas. Heel licht zurig aroma. De smaak is zoet en wat kruidig. Smaak ebt snel weg.

33cl alu bottle. A clear yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of sweet stone fruits, oranges, wheat. Taste of sweet oranges, stone fruits, yeast and wheat malt. Nothing special.

0.33 L bottle-shaped alu container; hazy pale yellow colour, huge, dense white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of wet wheaty, bread crusty, lemony, fruity (peach and pear) and slight orange peel oils; taste of malty-bready sweetness with some sourish, slight bittery and spicy notes; easily drinkable

The wheat beer in this series, an organic one like the others in the series, with champagne yeast and orange peel; hints at American style wheat ale due to the more forwarded hop presence, I guess this justifies the 'wheat ale' rather than 'witbier' classification here. Metallic (!) bottle from a health food store in Ghent. Egg-white, bubbly, loosely knit head quickly reduced to a thin ring, over a hazy golden-yellow beer with pale apricot hue. Aroma of banana, candied lemon, limoncello without the alcohol, candy apple, honey, sweetbread, touch dried orange peel, cooked sweet potatoes, damp straw. Sweet onset, very strong banana ester, cooked pear and ripe pineapple notes, light sourish tone and initially souring carbonation but calming down significantly in a brief amount of time; slick wheaty-bready body, bit soapy, leading to a mildly earthy finish with lingering honey- and candied lemon-like sweetness; dried orange peel adds bitterness, more so than the hops, which remain gently floral and a bit grassy - yet indeed a bit more pronounced than would be the case in a traditional Belgian witbier. Special and modern interpretation of a witbier, venturing in the Anglo-Saxon wheat ale realm indeed, but remaining too sweet and bubblegummy to fully belong to the latter category; elegant still, certainly not the worst Belgian wheat beer I had and so, like the 6, still quite a nice surprise from this brewery for me. As with the 6, though, I seem to be the only here appreciating this beer - I must have had a really good day...
