Cambron’s wheat beer, with a thick and very regularly shaped, dense, snow white, stable head and lightly hazy golden colour with fairly strong fizz; a tad darker than the Hoegaarden standard. Aroma of dried orange peel, freshly baked bread, grains, coriander but subtly so, dried leaves, grass, apple and a hint of iron. Sweetish onset, pear, hint of banana, touch of sour berries, tingling carbonation, subtle sourish wheat presence, not as ’soapy’ as usual with more emphasis on bready barley, some drying coriander in the finish but (fortunately) remaining subdued, very light, leafy, bittering hop accent but it is a subtle yet refined, lemony sourishness which remains as the last impression, very quenching. Not another Hoegaarden clone, I’d rather dub this a typically more malty and bready ’Wallonian’ witbier interpretation. Pleasant surprise, actually, without any obvious flaws.
