3 Fonteinen Beersel Tarwebier

3 Fonteinen
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Beersel, Belgium

330 ml bottle.Thick creamy white head that clings to the glass. Orangey and strawberry aromas. No noticeable hop aroma. Low carbonation. Somewhat neutral flavour with some citrusy afternotes. Subdued sourish notes, but overall a refreshing blonde without much depth. No noticeable bitterness. More sour than hoppy.

Small, white, coarse-laced white head, Clear, dark yellow body. Looks like a pilsener. Sourish, wheaty aroma with a hint of strawberries. Taste is sweet and wheaty with notes of cinnamon and a dry strawberry-like aftertaste. Very difficult to place this beer. Very unusual, and interesting, but didn’t really appeal to me. (0.33l bottle; I *think* this is the Tarwebier, but it’s hard to know, since no name is given on the bottle. Wheat is listed among the ingredients, though.)

Bottle, thanks secret Nat
Hazy yello, bubbly, foamy white head. Oranges, minerals and clove in the aroma. Yeasty minerally, a hint oranges, light, slightly papery body, some citric tartness - fizzles out on a clove note.

Pour is hazed deep yellow with a bright white head...smell is orange with notes of yeast and pineapple...taste is sweet with yeasty bananas...seems quite off style...

cloudy orange colour with a firm little white head; aroma of orange peel with lingering notes of spices; slightly oily with a high carbonation, medium-bodied with a robust sweetness, a touch of acidic tartness partially balances it; slightly fruity finish

Medium yeast and clove nose like a German hefeweizen. Clear pale gold color with a white tight-bubbled head. Light wheat base like a krystallweizen, faint orange flavor tinge. THink body, crisp texture, clean palate. Good, but not so exciting.

Hazy golden color, medium fast diminishing head. Intese dijon mustard nose, also oranges and yeast. Lihgt orange taste - fizzy carbonation. Actually it smells like a German Wheat and tates like a German Kristall.

Whitened yellow with a touch of haze. Thick ring surrounds a broken center of white foam. Oats, doughy yeast, coriander, and bananas dominate the nose. Ever so phenolic and florally hoppy. Soft, fuzzy carbonation. Opens significantly airy and flabby with a muted note of rounded acidity. Supple foundation of doughy malt upholds the body whilst being doused with palate-clinging yeast over a tangy wheat and lush banana accompaniment. Extremely off-putting combination of meaty yeast and slippery acetaldehyde soon follows, though, and intensifies the flabbiness. Lightly musty yeast hints are scattered about. Wave of peppery alcohol far outweighs the spicier phenols, and imparts a hint of dryness to the otherwise underattenuated body. White pepper and coriander sift their way into the finish, as doughy yeast and floral hop snippets seal the finish. Very generic, all around.
