Wheat beer from a micro brewery (and beershop) in Wallonia which has recently gone official. Draught at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Thick, frothy, tightly cobweb-lacing, snow white head over a pure and warm yellow golden beer with vivid fizz, lightly hazy. Aroma of lemon grass, passion fruit, lemon-scented soap, raw ’witloof’ or even iceberg salad, freshly grated ginger, dough, soap, warm biscuit, ripe pear, lemon candy and - alas - a sulfuric touch of DMS. Fruity onset, very apple-ish, hints of banana ester and pineapple, green berry-like sourishness balancing out the sweetness but also accentuated by sharp and minerally overcarbonation; lightly bready and bit grainy middle, working towards a bitterish finish, grassy and herbal, a bit green tea-like even; banana ester and wheat slickness get the last word. Clearly different from the familiar Hoegaarden witbier standard, more tilted towards Anglo-Saxon wheat ales even, with no obnoxious coriander but something refreshingly lemony instead. Too bad for the DMS but it remained subtle so I enjoyed this, after all.

Bottle sample @ Vine Birre Ribelli ’16. Dorée sans avoir trop du trouble attendu par l’usage de froment, col blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet fruité léger sur le malt avec un effet grains de froment assez marqué ponctué par un pils restant en ligne pour un style plutôt blanc. Palais est léger malté pils et froment prenant le dessus approchant une certain consistance niveau palais. Le houblon belge Cascade est intéressant à l’usage est s’éloigne de l’approche attendue d’un houblon C américain. Retrouve une base belge plus noble avec un apport minéral voire terreux plus dominant. Retrouve un léger fruité et qcq pointe de feuillu. Le tout est assez sec avec un petit accent fleuri sur la fin. Via la levure je retrouve aussi un fini épicé. Correcte sans trop pousser les frontières de ce qui se fait ailleurs en Belgique.

330 ml. bottle sampled @ Vini Birre Ribelli 2016. Wheat & Hop Harvest 2016. Hazy citrus, big creamy white. Nose is massive BE esters, overly estery, strangely mineral, far too yeasty going towards milky. Taste is unpleasant esters, harsh, mineral, unpleasant milky, overly soapy, far too messy. Milky, yeasty, mineral body. Nope unpleasantly Belgian, messy, didn’t enjoy it.
