Crime Passionnel from Brouwerij De Dochter van de Korenaar bridges wheat beer and IPA traditions in a single expression. Built on 45% wheat malt and nine hop varieties including German Saphir, it delivers tropical fruit character alongside spicy, creamy notes. Bottle-conditioned at 7.5% ABV, this beer gains complexity through secondary fermentation.

The nose opens with citrus, ripe and tropical fruits, and floral hop presence. On the palate, sweetness and fruitiness emerge first—apricot and peach lead the way—before a dry, grassy finish takes over. The wheat base provides body and texture while the hop selection drives the finish, making this a versatile summer option.
