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.

33 cl bottle, bbe 2007. With the last pour, honey coloured and hazy, with a small but relatively compact head. The aroma is wonderful, most of all hoppy, but there’re also notes of dried fruits and cherry candies... Aromatic hops take definitely over in the flavour. On the palate, rich, mellow, soft and full-bodied like honey, with a gentle bitterness which strikes a couple of seconds into the aftertaste.

From a 750ml bottle with a best by date of 2007. Poured a dark and bright gold. Huge white head. Aroma is soapy lemons and some bread crust. Also some herbal notes. The taste is citrus and herbs with some pepper in the finish. A crisp and light mouthfeel. Leaves me salivating. This is an interesting wit.

well i expected a witbier but this aint one. whatever it is it’s nice. hazy orange with lots and lots of broken teeth and a head that sticks all the way. in the smelll i got orange, banana, baked apple, peach, bubblegum and im sure more imaginative noses would come up with a lot more. suffice it to say it is a veritable fruit salad on the nose. taste is round, fruity and sweet, fluffy, but then quenchingly acidic. some interesting heavy trappisty fruit - fat plums, pears, baked apple, chewy and tasty.
