Clear blond beer, big creamy solig white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, quite some banana, spicy, sweet impressions, lots of banana! Funny anecdote: this was not created with a selected Hefeweizen yeast, but the "regular house yeast" has by default quite some banana characteristics it seems. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: malty start, lots of banana, yeasty, soft bitterness, little sourish. Aftertaste: citrus, some banana, yeast notes, herbal.

Draught Huge, very dense & fine, lightly cream-coloured & very creamy head over fully hazy chestnut-brown beer; textbook lace. As the "light" version, again this overwhelming vinous/wood/ red fruit, here with some hints at lavender and chocolate. Again wood & more chocolate, (old) wine, winemost, noble rot. Again the finish seems empty at first, only to fill in with an aftertaste as a lighter reflection of the first sensorial impressions. Strangely enough, the dark version seems to lack some body, an impression absolutely not suggested by the colour. Beer that makes your trip worthwhile. Warning: not one to drink too cold.

Draught Huge, very dense & fine, utterly creamy head over fully hazy ruby-brown beer; textbook lace. Nutty, vinous, red fruit, red grape, oakwood - exactly as promised and given tenfold. Eve slightly nobel rot and putteke as a true gueuze. Nutty, bit bready. Again vinous, but much more kept to the back. Notes of (milk)chocolate and cocoa powder. Clear, but mild acidity, fruit- and (less) lactic. Dry, actually empty-ish MF, but then the aftertaste brings back renewed, if lessened main flavours, with a bit more wood and lactic acid. "Their" Rodenbach GC - but I deem it in a different category. Much milder than the Roeselare specials, but hardly less complex.

Draught Huge white & dense head, hazed orange-yellow beer. Citrus and a sourish note, that, indeed, spells buckthorn to me - well known from the dunes. One other herb/spice, difficult to pinpoint exactly. Also some white wine notes - not at all bad. Spicy, faint sourish flavour, with a sweeter undercurrent, and a flowery backthroat flavour that might well be the elderblossom. Finish is a tad empty, alas. Light body, even watery, well-carbonated. Nice & fine, as a drinking ale or to accompany a (fish) dinner - which is exactly its purpose. In itself it is not a true tasting/sipping beer.

Draught @ Hoppeschuur. Nice red color, average sized off-white to beige head that lasts for quite a while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, a bit sweet, wood, oak. Tastes about the same: malts, lightly sweetish, wood, oak, overripe fruits in a nice way and a nice soft bitter touch left at the back of your tongue. Full body, medium carbonation. This beer really improved tremendously on the oak barrel and is now without a doubt one of the best oak aged beers in Belgium.

Draught @ Hoppeschuur. Opaque red brownish color, full sized off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, some hops, something weird (pumpkin I guess?) and a bit sweetish. Taste malts, again lightly some hops, pumpkin more clearly, sweetish. Quite malty and certainly pumpkin influences. Very well brewed, not my favorite kind of beer, but no flaws whatsoever. Summarising: not my kind of beer, but very well done imo, therefore an average score.
