Draft @ Brouwbar, Gent. Hazy yellow/amber colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Fruity nose, notes of orange peel, peach. Taste is rather sweet with some harsh notes of unripe fruit. Not the best balanced tripel but not bad.

The extra hoppy version of Brouwbar's Hefeweizen, launched together with their four other first try-outs. Tasted from tap in a tasting flight during the opening day of this enthusiastic new brewpub. Irregularly lacing, moussy, egg-white head over a hazy peach blonde beer - clearly a notch darker and more orangey than their classic Hefeweizen, so clearly not the same malt bill. Aroma of orange peel, camomile, dried mango, straw, honey, cookie dough, canned pineapple, melon, sandwiches, green tea. Sweetish onset, pear, apricot, banana ester, light mango accent somewhere, sourish touch; softish carbo, fluffy, pleasantly soft, bit soapy mouthfeel. Sweetbread- and slightly honeyish malt sweetness makes up the core of this beer, leading to a mildly phenolic finish in which indeed an elegant, delicate citrusy and violet-like hoppiness shows up, yet providing only limited bitterness, albeit a tad more so than in the classic Hefeweizen. Interesting: maltier than the classic version, evidently hoppier, but in a subtle, aromatic way rather than bittering. I personally would not have minded more actual hop bitterness (which goes for most of their beers) but granted, this is an elegant creation, and I cannot immediately think of another 'hoppy Hefeweizen' - at least not in Belgium. Maybe a certain part of Schneider's Tap series served as the inspiration here?

One of the five first beers from this new Ghentian brewpub, a remarkable choice for a thoroughly German tradition in Belgium - I haven't seen many attempts at this style in this country. Medium thick, moussy, egg-white, opening head, not as frothy and pillowy as I am used to from this style, over a hazy, warm 'old gold' coloured beer. Aroma of overripe banana, lemon blossom, pastry dough, cloves, white pepper, apple sauce, pear, damp straw, some vague withering lettuce. Sweetish onset, lots of the expected (and intended) banana ester, ripe pear and fried pineapple notes, sourish wheatiness underneath becoming a tad soapy in the middle, but the 'fluffiness' I love in a good Weissbier is certainly there. Carbonation is medium. Breadiness increases in the finish, adorned with phenolic spice hints, lingering banana ester sweetishness and a subtle touch of floral hops. This is a textbook Hefeweizen, not a banana candy-like caricature as you often find in the Netherlands: this one has subtlety, elegance and sufficient depth. Likely the best Belgian attempt at this style I had so far, but that does not say a lot, obviously...
