Butenbiëntke

The name nods to a 'buitenbeentje', an outsider: a wheat beer made with 50% wheat malt, three different hop varieties and coriander. Unfiltered, unpasteurised and cloudy, it is bitter with a slightly grainy side. 5.5% ABV, light in colour.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Butenbiëntke

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced cloudiness from suspended yeast particles, creating an opaque, inviting appearance. The unfiltered nature produces a soft, pillowy head with good retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh wheat grain and a subtle spiced character from coriander and clove. Beneath lies a delicate fruity undertone reminiscent of ripe banana, underscored by a yeasty, slightly earthy backdrop that speaks to the unfiltered nature of the brew.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with pronounced wheat character and a peppery bite from the coriander. Mid-palate develops a subtle clove warmth and mild banana fruitiness, while the bitterness—restrained but present—builds steadily to balance the cereal sweetness of the malts.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
