Draught at the brewpub as Ouwe Daen Echt Utrechts Tarwebier. The aroma is sweet and clovy, quite promising. Cloudy dark golden colour with a big and stable, creamy white head. The flavour is slightly sweet and not citric. There is some clove and teaish coriander to it. Good wheaty mouthfeel. Finishes with a little slightly rough bitterness.

Orange hazy, cloudy good off-white head. Nose has wheat and banana. Caramelly, light to medium-bodied, banana notes. Sweet, refreshing, prefect drink to enjoy next to Utrecht’s Oude Gracht (channel).

Draught Fully hazy yellow with orange shine, disappearing off-white head. Dry, spicey nose with coriander and some grains. Coriander just kills off everything else. Yeasty MF, fully slick by the contents. My God - they were much better in their beginning years. Brewers ought to be learning - this is a homebrewers’ beginners mistake.

Rerate, 2014: tap @ Oudaen, medium sample, served in a hefeweizenglass. Clear yellow to golden color, short frothy white head. Aroma of grainy malts, grassy and herbal hop, slight spicy. Quite nice and fresh noble hops actually. Not as much banana or clove present, as most is filtered out. Soft to medium bitter taste. Their hefeweizen isnt the most banana and clove forward weizen, so therefore there is not much left of this character. It tastes almost like a keller. But a very nice one actually. Score going up massively. Original rating, 2001: This is the filtered version of ouwe daen, and they shouldnt have. Cos the nice appearance is gone, a clear pale-yellowish color is all what’s left. The nice citric freshness is not present anymore as it was in ouwe daen. This beer is more comparable to Grolsch Zomergoud, as it is a filtered wheat, and wheat aren’t supposed to be filtered. 2.8
