Very fine UFO's in a cloudy lemonjuice-like beer, with a huge, fluffy white head, lacey. Spicy nose, classic spicy hops, but also some aroma as from cumin, currypowder. Citrus and chamomille. Yeast is not only visible. Lightly sourish and dry-spicy. Finish has some faraway maltsweetness, petering out to dry cardboard. Citrussy hops, but not really imposing. Light body, with a slickness that, combined with the acidity, would have made me guess witbier fully blinded - and despite the absence of the infernal weed. Better than the sum of its parts, and wààày better than most wits.

Belgian style witbier but 'infused' with a splash of 21st-century craft brewing, in the form of extra hoppiness from modern (albeit European) hop varieties, namely Saphir (released in 2002) and Hüll Melon (debuted in 2012). Tightly paper-lacing, egg-white, bit irregular but still creamy and mousy, slowly thinning head over a cloudy straw blonde beer with egg yolk-ish yellow glow, turning milky with sediment. Aroma of honeydew melon (the Hüll Melon, no doubt), cooked orange juice, lemon zest, sugar loaf, fried apple, halfripe banana, hints of freshly ground coriander seed, Thai basil, baking soda, Doyenné pear, mango juice, slightly 'medicinal' phenols (eucalyptus) and a slight hint of onsetting 'rusty' oxidation. Fruity, crisp onset, halfripe banana again mingled with green apple, pear and some pineapple notes, fizzy carb, sourish edge accentuated by the carbonation; slick, sourish and bit soapy, but primarily bread crumb-like wheatiness and maltiness in the middle, cereally edges in a softish, pleasant way, fruity esters still dancing on top and eventually connecting with the sweet fruitiness of the Hüll Melon (honeydew melon indeed, vague unripe mango and pineapple even); meanwhile coriander seed spiciness pops up only to be overruled by an earthy, leafy bitterness from the Saphir, lasting quite long, with a peppery, bit grapefruity, drying and very quenching effect. Phenolic and oxidation effects hang around too, alas, but the hops still get to shine the way they were intended to. Indeed much hoppier - both in aroma and in bitterness - than any classic Belgian wit, so a welcome expansion of this old style, albeit again (as usual with this brewery) a tad 'messy' and too phenolic. Needs some finetuning, but the idea is likeable enough and this is, in all, among the more enjoyable En Stoemelings offerings I had to date.
