330 ml. bottle sampled @ LIBF 2017. Thank you for sharing RB-InBev Belgian crew! Citrus golden, little white head. Nose is weirdly sweet, oily, sweet vegetable, oily. Taste is weirdly sweet, grain, stale bread, overly sweet oily, vegetable, bland. Vegetable & bread oil. Not a success for me, the sweetness, vegetable oil, stale quality,... Not as bad as some of their other beers.

Spanish attempt at Hefeweizen with added spelt (so already not a traditional Hefeweizen in its very nature). Loose, moussy, snow white head, not nearly as fluffy as a traditional Hefeweizen would produce, over a misty peach-hued golden blonde beer. Aroma sadly ruined by heavy DMS (cooked cabbage) distracting from more flattering notes of soggy white bread, light banana (too light for this style actually - never thought I’d say this), vague bubblegum, breakfast cereals, grassy touch. Fruity onset but ’clean’ for this style, hint of banana, pear, some light pineapple, medium carbo, slick and soapy mouthfeel but not as ’fluffy’ as I expect from a Hefeweizen, bready wheat and some vaguely spicy spelt, dimly sourish, strong retronasal DMS again, even overpowering the phenolic cloves; very light earthy hop touch in the end. Impaired by DMS - whereas Hefeweizen, an underestimated style to produce at high quality level, gets most of its ’flair’ from a balanced play of esters and phenols, both of which are pushed to the background here. The least successful beer of the festival for me.

Bottle sample @ LIBF’17, thanks to the RB-InBev Belgian crew for the share. Dorée, sur léger voile, col blanc. Arôme d’ester allemand rendant un léger bouquet banane, petite touche épicée avec rétro de grains, froment, touche de pils? Palais reste dans une lignée classique allemande, levure DE avec fruité banane, petite pointe d’épice et un léger houblonné noble, garde un fini rendant un effet de pelure de pomme.
