Bière 33 cl trouvée en magasin de destockage. Je n'ai pas du tout aimé. Cette bière avait un goût métallique assez prononcé qui a vraiment gâché l'expérience de la dégustation. Les quelques notes fruitées étaient dures à percevoir en raison du goût désagréable de métal. Dans l'ensemble, je ne recommanderais pas cette bière à quiconque.

Belgian witbier with a serious twist: instead of Pierre Celis’ old coriander-curàçao combo, this one is flavoured with acerola and lucuma, two exotic fruits you hardly ever find in the supermarket (and in beer – I only remember encountering the first one in a couple of beers before but certainly never the second one). Interesting premise, now let us see what this gives. Thick and snow white, very frothy, papery lacing head on an initially clear ‘old gold’ coloured beer, ‘metallic’ in a sense, turning misty-golden with sediment. Aroma of bread crust, soapy wheat, oxidized apple, banana, something subtly green melon-like which is probably the lucuma, a whiff of dried old orange peel with I suppose represents the acerola, straw, minerals. Fruity onset, quite crisp with sweet banana ester mingling with that melony lucuma touch as well as red apple and pear impressions – but we are far removed from the overt tropical fruitiness I was expecting; lively and minerally carb, supple body, clear soapiness from the wheat and bread-crustiness from the barley. Feels somewhat thin and metallic, though; a herbal kind of bitterishness, supposedly the acerola, does add a bit of ‘body’ to the finish, merging with a long, drying, leafy hop bitterness, much more so than average for a witbier; bready accents and sweet banana ester linger about in the end as well. A postmodern hop-forward interpretation of the old witbier, that is for sure, but the tropical fruit additions remain very, very vague – if you have no idea at all what lucuma and acerola are supposed to taste like, I do not even think you will be able to pick them out at all. Bit metallic too, but otherwise still a quenching, decent beer, generally speaking.

Small, fast receding fine yellowish head over (cold)hazed orangey golden beer. Fruity nose, herbs, fresh-sourish smelling; green fruit & leaves. Bitterish taste, rather than sour. Herbal, even spicy. Faintly peppery. Acidity - aided by the carbonation - arrives at the tonguesides. Bit grainy, wheat. Light body, good carbonation, faint slickness, gradually receding flavours. OK, and as wheatbeer original. Not having eaten either acerola nor lucuma, can't recognise them.

Golden-yellow colored, hazy, medium white head. Some wheat and spices, herbal hops but over that plenty of chloropenols...
