Sunny, blonde color and aromatic fruitiness.
A perfect harmony between the barley and wheat provides the typical cloudy and the specific and fruity aroma. At the end of the cooking process in the brewing room, the spice mixture of, among others, coriander and citrus fruits is added.
Not brewed with unmalted wheat like all other white beers, but with 40% unmalted barley and with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. That is precisely why the label mentions 'Gerstewijn'. The secondary fermentation takes ten days in a heated room with a constant temperature of 22 ° C.

Bottle. Pours a quite clear, pale yellowish body with a white head. Nice fruity nose with some banana and spices. Fruity and slightly sweet flavor with a touch of cellar. Medium body. Easy to drink, quenching and a little bit boring. (080314)

Bottle, 5.5%. Sour white wine aroma. Cloudy yellow colour, sparkling with small floaties. Unstable white head. The flavour also reminds me of white wine, sour and refreshing. A lot like dry champagne. Low bitterness. Strange, but not bad.
