Commercial Description:
Blanche des Honnelles (1991) was originally very localised, and has since expanded beyond the boundries of the greater and lesser Honnelle rivers, from which it takes it's name. The Blanche des Honnelles leaves the beaten path somewhat. It has an amber colour which is after all the traditional appearance of the Blanches. It is also stronger (6%) than the Blanches that we know. Its taste is surprising and is not comparable to the brews with the same name that are now on the market. If the bouquet is subdued its first flavour is a stark dry sharpness against a pepper background. There is no acidity in this Blanche that is made with three cereals (barley, wheat, oats). It has a stimulating taste, leaving a subdued but refreshing final impression. Lots of character and curious.

Bottle. Pours apricot orange with a nice ivory head. Aroma of candied hops, Sprite, and yeast. Flavor is water with slight hops and more water. Average mouthfeel. The flavor is in there somewhere...

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Orange/yellow colour with frothy white head. Fruity, spicy nose with apricots and citric wheat aromas. Fruity, citric, spicy taste with notes of orange peel and dried fruit. Rather nice witbier, with slightly more bite than normally in the same style.

Hazy, almost murky golden orange. Moderate head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is funky yeast, wheat, some orange notes. Medium bodied, not much for tartness here. Interesting take on it, but I guess I prefer the usual spicing bill.

Pousrs hazy golden with a large, creamy, white head. Inviting aroma of spices, yeast, banana, and light fruit. Nice medium body with a bit of a spicy bite, but not overwhelmingly so. Flavor is fruity, banana, yeast, and some spices with a sweet malt background. Light pepper in the finish. Rather enjoyable.

What a refreshing, flavorful example of the style. 33 cL pours a hazy old gold with a huge, fluffy-lacey head in my tumbler. Sweetish, yeasty aroma with hints of cilantro and faint banana. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly sour and very lightly bitter. Grilled plaintains gone cold, wet sourdough, touch of lemon. Lightly bitter-bready aftertaste. A bit wet, light- to medium-bodied. Looks good, tastes good.

750 ml. Bottle. The beer pours a cloudy orange/pale color with a creamy white head and lacing. The aroma is of the apple and oranges with a mild spicy note as well. The same fruit and spice notes come through to the flavor with a nice tart back ground finish it with a mild bitterness that goes well the the tartness. Well balance spices as well nothing is overdone in this beer. This is a well made beer.
