Jopen Malle Babbe is a dark wheat beer from Haarlem, brewed by the Netherlands' largest independent craft brewery. The name honours a real historical figure from Haarlem – Malle Babbe was part of the city's storied brewing heritage that stretches back centuries.

This beer delivers the fruity character typical of wheat beers, with prominent banana notes. German Saphir hops added during the whirlpool contribute citrus and additional fruitiness to the profile. Bottle conditioning allows the beer to develop further complexity over time.

Malle Babbe presents a full flavour with the subtle spice you'd expect from a weizen, though with less smoothness than traditional hefeweizens – the higher carbonation gives it a slightly prickly edge.
