De Prael Willeke

from crackedkettle.com - hazy orange in colour with a poor head; estery with notes of exotic fruits and oily hops; slightly oily with a respectable malt body, sweet with a chewy mouthfeel and a low bitterness; sweetish and fruity finish - pleasant and balanced

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a small, lightly lacy head. Honey-yeasty, flowery-lavendery aroma with light spiciness. Some yeast also in the flavor, with lots of fruitiness and some flowery hops in the dryish finish. Medium-bodied, smooth palate. A nice and fresh brew, much cleaner and better than most I’ve had from this brewery before.

0.75 L Bottle, sampled at the brewery. Must have been a bad one, no carbonation, no head. Awful taste, somthing sweet, but strongly overwhelmed by skunkiness. I will probably rerate after having a good bottle, because I can’t believe this was meant to be this way. Rerate: fresh version from tap at the brewery. Cloudy orange coloured beer, steady small head. Aroma is a textbookcopy of Karmeliet: oranges, coriander, a little perfumed. Taste is fruity and fresh, oranges, a bit of coriander. Quite thick mouthfeel. Yep, this is how it is supposed to be, much better.

Cloudy golden colored body, with a dense & longlasting head, almost like a hefeweizen. Crisp, tart aroma - somewhat floral, and quite hoppy. Wheaty, dry taste. Quite tart, and sour, with honey, coriander, lemongrass and Noble-hops. Reasonable balance. Thin/medium mouthfeel, ample carbonation. Quite simple but definitely good.

On tap. Aroma is fruity, bit caramel malty and yeasty. Cloudy, yellow coloured with a nice white head. Taste is sweet, quite fruity. Melon is probably a good description. Some yeast, some malt. Bit sticky mouthfeel.
