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.

750 ml bottle shared by shigadeyo. Thanks Craig. Pours a clear yellow color with white floaties and a huge fluffy white head. The aroma was mainly sweet grass with hints of citrus. The flavor is light citrus with a touch of spices. I also get alcohol even though its not that strong. The mouthfeel is on the light side. Crisp and clean on the palate.

The pour reveals a hazy light orange color with a ring of white lace. Very appealing aroma of cloves, citrus and yeast. Solid flavor of cloves, citrus and yeast, it is pleasantly dry. The body is light with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Very good.

Buona buona blanche bevuta al pub del duca, direi la migliore di quelle che ho assaggiato finora; accompagnata a dei ravioli di pesce deliziosi.

First pour from a 750ml bottle in a Hoegaarden glass. Pours cloudy medium orange (slightly dark for a "white") with lasting white head. Aroma of spice/coriander, sweet vanilla-orange. Flavors fruity orange, honey with very slight caramelization. Medium body (slightly heavy for style, though is called “double white”). Nice soft mouthfeel. An excellent boutique version of the style, though less quaffable and refreshing than others.
