Bottle @ derat, small sample. Hazy yellow to golden color, medium head. Aroma of cooked vegetable, grainy wheat/spelt, floral, citrus, cardboard. Bit sweet, floral bitterness. Meh.

Bottle @ Cafe Derat. Hazy golden coloured, off white head. Nose is initially spear mint, but turned out to be thoroughly cooked vegetables, caramel, grainy. Flavour is malty, grainy, later bit of dry biscuit. Bit of fruits and lemonade. A bit weak and homebrew-ish.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Hazy golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with some weizen banana. Slightly sweet with a creamy moutfeel. Really soft and round beer. Truly a combination of a weizen and a heller bock. Nice atypical beer, but a bit too sweet for my taste.
Re-rate @ 21-08-2015. The brewer told me they tweaked the recipe a little to make it a bit less sweet. And indeed it is. The hops are also more present in this version but the wheat/spelt base is still there. Nicely hopped weizen.
