Farmentry Mexem Reverse : Appearance, Aroma, and Taste
Unlike the Obverse version of this beer, this one poured out a much lighter golden colour with a thin layer of white head on top. That head didn’t last long, as it faded to a few bubbles on top of the glass; however, it did leave a few small streaks down the side of the glass.
The aroma was a classic Belgian wit – lots of spiciness and orange notes coming through, with a touch of some floral hop aroma. As the beer warmed up, some light yeast phenols were noted, with the label on the can describing everything exactly – a good thing, but also a bad thing right there.
Finally, the body began with a light bitterness, though it faded fast to the spicy and orange notes as were found in the nose. It was a light drinking beer, and would have been perfect in late spring, early summer, not in the middle of winter. The lingering notes of spice and orange intermingled with a touch of malt sweetness to finish off.
Farmentry Mexem Reverse : The Bottom Line
A solid take on a Belgian wit.
