The name refers to the Bavarian fort (Fort van Beieren), not far from our brewery.

Hazy golden colour, white foam. Lively carbonation. A bit weak, citrussy, little bit banana, some tartness, a bit soapy. Ok, but I do like more the German interpretation of the style.

Weissbier by Siphon, launched in November last year; the name apparently refers to an old fortress nearby. Bottle at Huzaar. Dense and tiny-bubbled, membrane-lacing, egg-white, stable, wheat-enhanced head on a hazy golden beer with initially vaguely greenish tinge, later more beige-hued and hazy, with very lively sparkling remaining visible. Aroma of near-ripe banana, white bread, green apple, a hint of Cantaloupe melon probably related to the used Mandarina Bavaria hops, wet flour, chamomile tea, watermelon juice, unripe yuzu, raw sorrel leaf, hints of raw rhubarb peel, clove and soap. Sweetish onset, fruity but not wildly estery, hinting at green pear and green apple with a dash of banana thrown in; minerally carb, very active, but matching well with a smooth, eventually soapy mouthfeel; very wheaty core, slick and soapy, white-bready and dimly sourish, carrying ongoing accents of green fruit to a refreshing finish where a floral hop bitterness appears, linked with melon- and citrus-like accents from the modern hops that were used here. Bready and softly spicy aspects linger along, even a sweetish peach note that makes a late appearance. Slightly ‘different’ example of the style, not entirely conveying the traditions of Bavaria but all the more interesting for it, with a ‘postmodern hop infuse’ that manages to entertain in the background, even if the wheaty soapiness did begin to bother me a bit in the end.

14/I/22 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 25/X/23, WB/001_002 (2022-67)
Clear blond yellow beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, 4VG, bit dirty, weird, yeasty, spicy, cloves, herbal touch, not much of the typical Hefe… MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: slightly sweet, bit sourish, yeast, fruity touch, green apples, little sweet. Aftertaste: bit yeasty, some banana, gentle bitterness, malty notes, sourish, some wheat.
