Version 3 of my wheat beer progression with a French title this time.
Fermentables: Pale Ale Malt for base points, White Wheat for additional points/color/flavor, and then Vienna for color and flavor
Hops: Saphir across the board
Yeast: Imperial Stefon since I have it
Water profile is yellow balanced.
Same pour characteristics and aroma as last time. In general, the flavor is the same in that it is a lemon pound cake sort of flavor, yet it's a bit more intense than in the past such that I am really enjoying it; I'd almost describe the flavor as zesty. The body and nucleation sharpness are the same. Overall, the intensity of the flavor is really appealing in this beer and it has gotten better to the extent that I think it is a 5 star beer. I am not sure what I would change in this to make a better wheat beer as I certainly haven't had a superior commercial example.
Pours 3 fingers of foam, a strong yellow, almost gold in color. Aroma is dominated by a clove and banana phenolic. Flavor follows the nose yet there is also a honey, sweet bread characteristic that is quite good, though the flavor isn't entirely profound, very fleeting; if I search for it, there is a definite twinge of bitterness on the back end. Body is medium and the nucleation sharpness is pronounced. Overall, this is a stereotypical wheat beer, nothing that great. I'd like more flavor out of this one, by which I mean bolder flavor. 3 stars.
