take two

It's time to try a Brabante again.  If they've so helpfully put it in the supermarket, I might as well take advantage of that.  I picked up the wheat beer this time, which is probably what I've had in bars, since I remember Brabante being on the sour side.

There is noticeable sediment at the bottom, so careful pouring is necessary.  It's also very foamy, but once the head dies back it's an appetizing light lemon color.  Not too strong in the smell department, just a little bit of olfactory sourness.  The wheat is pretty powerful at first, with a strong grain and grass flavor.  Just underneath, the sourness waits to come out and coat the mouth.  It's an interesting sweet and sour combination, like a candy.  The wheatiness gets less pronounced sip after sip, leaving a tangy brew that feels just right on a summer evening.
