\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I can just hear Fabio fighting the power!\u00c2\u00a0 This mild, clear weissbier is produced by the Moortgat Brouwerij (brewery) that brings us Duvel and the various “Chouffe” beers and ales from the Brasserie d’Achouffe brewery.\u00c2\u00a0 The Vedett\u00c2\u00a0name was originally used to market a lager in the 1940’s, but in the 2000’s, the brand was realigned toward a younger, upscale\u00c2\u00a0market with the introduction of a pilsener and the weiss I will review here.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The flavor is not as heavily\u00c2\u00a0citrussy out of the bottle as some other weissbiers are.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a\u00c2\u00a0hint of bitter over the moderate wheat flavor.\u00c2\u00a0 The carbonation is low: You can feel a hint of bubbles on the tongue, but there is no head.\u00c2\u00a0 It is cloudy, as\u00c2\u00a0a weiss should be, but has the least amount of accumulated sediments of all the bottled weissbiers I have observed.\u00c2\u00a0 This weiss is the lightest in flavor that I’ve had so far.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s not specifically a bad thing, as I’ve had a couple of microbrew or craft weissbiers where they smack you on the head with a hand drilling hammer with the amount of sediment and taste overburden they have.\u00c2\u00a0 The Vedett Extra White Weiss has a good balance of flavor and body, but is on the crisper, refreshing side of the scale instead of the fuller, “meatier” (meal in a glass) side.<\/p>\n
