COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Brøckhouse Hvede er brygget efter belgisk tradition. Den er brygget på halv pilsnermalt og halv hvedemalt, og især hvedemalten giver den en lidt syrlig og frugtagtig smag. Hvedeøllen er humlet med den meget fine Saazer humle, og den er yderligere brygget med koriander og appelsinskal. Derved får den en markant duft og en herlig frisk smag. Gæren, der er importeret fra Weihenstephan, medvirker til øllets krydrede smag Brøckhouse Hvede har et højt indhold af kulsyre og bør serveres iskold. Det er en ideel velduftende og forfriskende aperitif, f.eks. på en varm forårsdag.

English: Brøckhouse Hvede is brewed according to Belgian traditions. It is brewed on half pilsner malt and half wheat malt. Especially the wheat malt gives the beer a slightly acidic and fruity flavour. Saaz hops have been added to the wheat beer along with coriander and orange peels. Thus a distinct fragrance and a fresh, lush taste is achieved. The yeast has been imported from Weihenstephan adding to the spicy flavour of the beer. Brøckhouse Hvede has a high content of carbon dioxide and should be served icecold. It is an ideal fragrant refreshment on a hot spring day.

PetetheMeat (619) - Hove, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2004

Yellow, unclear beer. Off white lasting creamy head. Good carbonation. Yeastfull nose with citrus (sevilla oranges) and apples too (?). The flavour is fresh with more yeast, citrus and clear notes of coriander and pepper (seszhuan). Lots of fruit. Creamy palate. Overall magnificent wit beer.

Keg
Cloudy blond color. Nice aroma of citrus fruits, wonderful blend of citrus fruits, some malt, spices. Maltier than others, maybe one of the most complex white beers I had. Brøckhouse will always surprise me!

madsberg (7529) - Søborg, DENMARK - AUG 17, 2002

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2003 Draught: Hazy yellow coloured. Not much head. Has a spicy, citrusy and yeasty aroma, all the things I like in a good witt. Flavour is even better. Spices, malt, sweets, wheat, citrus and fruit mingel very well in this mighty brew. Has a nice fruity aftertaste with a touch of bitterness. Me like.

rane (708) - Nibe, DENMARK - APR 30, 2006

UPDATED: JUN 19, 2006 Great white beer. Nice appearance and smelll, aroma of spices, coriander and citrus. Very nice taste in the belgian style with coriander and citrus. Very good sweetnes in the taste. Maybe the best white beer I have tasted. Reminds me a lot of Hoegarden but maybe a little bit better.

trapez (1353) - Hilleroed, DENMARK - MAY 4, 2008

Bottle 0.5 l. Bought Irma Hilleroed. Onclear (unfiltered) yellow color with medium white head. Plenty of aromas - sweet, fuity (abricots), hobs. Taste is elegant, sweet, wheat and fruits. Soft carbonation. Mouthfeel light as a Witbier sholud be. May 4th is a perfect day for this beer - it brings light (Danish tradition with candlelight in the windows to celebrate the end of World War II).

BeerBiker (1412) - Odense, DENMARK - NOV 30, 2007

[Sampled in 2003.] This was the first wit/weiss I liked after some attempts. Finally it succeded and after this I forever love this brew. True belgo in its style all the way and then you know it, maybe some more yeast and hops.

thewolf (8625) - Kolding, DENMARK - DEC 29, 2006

Absolutely clear dark golden yellow until the last drops, where some great particles spread throughout the beer. Thin but creamy white head. Very fruity aroma - oranges, banana, apples. Nice mouthfeel - lives on your tongue. Sweet flavours with wheat, oranges and some final peppery tones.

Blom (802) - Odense, DENMARK - MAR 17, 2008

Pours a yellow with a huge head. Has a thirst driving aroma of oranges, mandarin, pineapple and wheat. The flavours follow the same line with some coriander and a bit more bitterness in a wit than usual.Yummi!

jonas (4588) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - MAY 13, 2002

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2004 Tap at Ølfestilval 2002 A truly excellent member of the style! All the characteristics you love about a wit with a fruty sweet taste in a well-balanced body.

Bottle summer 2004 Spicy, a bit vinegary aroma. Cloudy yellow, creamy head. Spice (coriander), lemon-peel, slight yeast. Medium bready body, full for a wit. Moderately good wit.
