Big thank you to Torsten & Daniel for this 0,33 l bottle. BB 16.01.2026. Cloudy golden in the glass, small one finger white head. Wheat and yeast on the nose, musty hints. Taste starts pale grainy at first, increasing orange, caramel, clove and yeast. Below average carbonation. Off the beaten paths of Hefeweizen. But drinkable.

330ml bottle [6.5% abv]. Clear, orange golden colour with huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, off-white head. Zesty, minimally waxy, hoppy and peppery, yeasty spicy aroma, widely discuised, caramel malty background, a touch of orange zest. Taste is bitter hoppy, and peppery, yeasty spicy, notes of black pepper, leafy and zesty hop bitterness, neutral malty basis, no residual sweetness. Watery texture, dry palate, coarse, lively carbonation. Overcarbonated, plain bitter and yeasty - bad.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, redd-ish, amber colour with huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, sulphureous head. Wheaty malty and yeasty fruity aroma, a touch of red berries, rather unspecific fruitiness overall, minimally waxy overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty and caramel malty, slightly yeasty fruity, hints of red berries, strawberry, frozen strawberry, mildly bitter hoppy counterpart. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Rather untypical Dunkelweizen, quite sweet and fruity - interesting.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Zesty, citrusy fruity and minnimally spicy aroma, notes of orange peel with a minimally waxy touch, widely disguised, wheaty malty and minimally surgary, biscuity, pale malty background, whiffs of coriander. Taste is wheaty malty and minimally biscuity, sugary, pale malty with some residual sweetness, slightly citrusy and mildly bitter hoppy as well as slightly zesty, citrusy fruity, hints of lemon, some orange peel, a minimally spicy touch of coriander in the finish. Watery texture, indifferent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly refreshing, a tad sugary, barely spicy - acceptable.

Big thank you Torsten und Daniel for this 0,33 l bottle. Cloudy dark golden in the glass, small one finger head. Pale grainy aroma, some citrus, some honey. Taste is malty, sweet honey with bitter hop. Tastes like alcoholic but it isn´t. Interesting stuff.

Bottle. Love how the printed label they use for all version already lists coriander as ingrediënt, because ofcourse all their beers need this as ingrediënt. Clear darker golden. Sweet malts, marzipan, alcohol, bread, soft spices and yeast, cloves, allspice, sugar syrup. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Almost full bodied. Meh.

Bottle. Slight hazy light golden. Light wheat, lime zest, green leaves, unripe fruit, coriander. Medium sweet and bitter, light sour. Medium bodied. Not as sweet as other Amelander beers, but the coriander doesn't help anything here. It would be better without it.

Bottle. Clear dark amber. Roasted malts, sugar, caramel, soft coriander and herbs, earthy, red berries. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Almost full bodied. Not horrible, but all beers from this brewery are very sweet and have coriander and prominent yeast.

Bottle from Plus Ameland. Almost clear light golden. Sweet malts and wheat, honey, lemon zest, light grassy, a bit of yeast. It's quite sugary sweet with soft hops but not very bitter. Medium bodied. Decent stuff, definitely not a Belgian blonde.

Bottle. Clear amber. Yeasty, sweet malts, light caramel and toasted malts, a hint of cranberries, bitter berry skins, endive, earthy. Medium sweet, more bitter and light sour. Medium bodied. Not great, and the fruit is really in the background, but it's drinkeable.
