Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Traditional Ale
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Bottle. Cloudy white with a small head. Aroma is salty, pretzel like. Light, easy drinking with some sulpher and sweet candy. The beer balances between tart and grain. An absolutly wonderful beer.

Bottle. Cloudy white with a little white head. Salty, fruity citrusy aroma. Sweet grainy flavor. Tart grapefruit finish. Decent beer. Very drinkable.

Actually 3trd, commercial version of an experimental beer Head gone in secs to rim over very pale clear beer. Lemony, citrussy, very refreshing nose, outstandingly inviting, fruity and lactic. Again citrussy, slightly lactic, with a delicate grain background flavour. Slightly sweeter than the first experimental versions. Appropriately light. The next best thing to (real) Berliner Weisse.

Sampled from the bottle at Zythos 03/08. Very pale yellow, quite high condition, foamy white head soon goes. Unusual lightly sour and lactic aroma with farmyard and tar/paint notes, light and fizzy almost cidery palate with a creamy quality, a lightly citric but not sour finish w hints of elderflower and kvass. Very refreshing but unusual and hard to rate. According to programme, brewed at behest of a linguist and an archaeologist, based on 4,000-year-old recipe and contains no hops. Brewed on 7 November 2007.

White blond coloured beer, hazy, no carbonation and a small white head. Strange earthy grainy fresh sour aroma. Medium fruity palate. Finish is light sour fruity, grainy. Very refreshing and very special. Worth trying.

From bottle, 33 cl. Yesterday @ ZBF. Yellow color, with nice white head. Aroma sour, earthy. Medium body. Taste sourness, bit earthy, very special.

Really interesting, refreshing stuff. Sampled at ZBF. Lightly hazy, whitish-yellow color, thin filmy head. Sweetish, lemony nose, also floral and herbal notes. The initial, light sweetness goes mildly tart and lemony, again with that floral-herbal backdrop. Light acidity. Tart finish with a grainy aftertaste. Lots of greenery in there, but still quenching.

Pours a wierd light lemonade almost white color with a fizzy diminishing head to nothing. Aroma is a fair amoutn of sulfur/thiol, and tons of DMS, hints of diacetyl, grapefruit, lemon juice, coconut and vanilla- lactic tartness as well. Flavor, is more sufur and dms- vegetal cooked cabbage/sauerkraut, more light earthy and lemony hints, and a slightly tart finish. Seemed like a very raw unrefined and fresh berliner weisse that needs time to mellow out a bit. Not bad on a 100 degree day like last saturday.
