4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20Assez rare pour être signalé, une blanche avec un vrai travail de brassage.
D’abord selon le brasseur il s’agit d’une « blanche double », et c’est vrai...
Ensuite elle est élaborée avec 3 céréales : orge, froment (logique) et avoine.
Voilà une belle conception de la blanche, qui doit être avant tout rafraîchissante,
mais pas nécessairement limitée au froment...
Enfin, nous avons un niveau alcool respectable pour une blanche de 6% abv,
ce qui n’est pas inconciliable, et bien vu également.
Couleur blond foncé à ambre clair, là aussi différente.
Clarté diaphane, mais sans le grand voile brouillardeux habituel.
Bulles très très faibles, bizarre... pour un exemplaire à date limite en mai 14.
Mousse beige qui vient à plat et laisse un petit voile maigre !!
Odeurs de prune, figue, poire, massepain, miel de tilleul, pain gris.
Texture liquide.
1er goût de céréales (il y en a 3, nous le savons) avec de quoi mâcher, et une
arrière-bouche fraîche et houblonnée.
2ème goût de céréales toujours, avec une pointe de poivre et muscade.
3ème avec fraîcheur et robustesse du contenu. Arrière-bouche maltée.
La longueur est constante.
La levure bien faite, un rien salée, poivrée.
L’alcool plus que correct pour le genre.
La finale laisse une bouche pleine mais est pourtant fraîche.
Conclusion : beaucoup plus riche que beaucoup de blanches...
A rapprocher de la St Bernard blanche pour la classe... et pour la cote.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy peach colour with a white head. The nose is clean mineral notes with peppercorn, pear, light pink bubblegum, faint lemon, and yeast. Light bodied, and slightly sweet with great carbonation, it’s spicy up front with mineral notes, light earthiness, a nice floral note, faint banana, light soapy notes, and more heat with a unique note of light coconut in the finish. Light, easy drinking, but still has a lot going on. Recommended.

It pours translucent (very hazy) straw yellow coloured; the head is off-white and foamy. The aroma has notes of: honey, coriander, pepper, orange-zest, and sweet malts. The taste is medium sweet; there are notes of: fresh cereal, honey, coriander, alcohol, and pepper. The palate is medium bodied, has light carbonation, and a medium finish. Overall, meh.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bräunlich-gelb, verhaltene Schaumbildung. Hefig-fruchtiges Aroma (Aprikose). Im Geschmack wie ein gehaltvolleres Wit, kräuterig und hefig-zitronig mit leicht nachbitternden Abgang. Nett, aber auch nichts Weltbewegendes!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
330ml bottle. Cloudy orange body, lots of sedimentation, medium white head with good retention. Aroma of dough and yeast, herbal hops, spices, a touch of woodiness. Taste is a nice mix of yeast, cereals, herbal hops, spices, caramel. Lively carbonated. Lovely.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. BB 21/02/2015.
App.: Extremely cloudy dirty amber with a large off-white foam.
Aroma: Rich tropical fruit esters, a little yest and bread dough and hay, so fruity and friendly, nice.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly full, fine effervescence.
Flav.: More cereals and wheat, still plenty of rich, fruity esters, a touch perfumed, really approachable; dry with minimal bitterness and a long, fruity, friendly finish.
Quite good. Not a big surprise for this brewer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle pours a hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger white head that leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is light fruits and yeast with some pepper notes. Taste is a light pepper spiciness with a fruit and malty sweetness and a spicy hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with plenty of carbonation and a slight alcohol presence. Definitely a witbier with some substance and character.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not the average white. Nice looking, very tasty double white. Balanced fruity citrus with a masculien peppery aftertaste. Deserves to be chilled right!

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a murky orange with average near white head. Aroma is cereal grains, fruit and musty hops. Flavour is big on the chewy cereal grains, with some fruity esters and light peppery note. Dry finish. Good, but nothing too special.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Single brown bottle from the LCBO. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a frothy white head, just above average retention and minimal lacing. Mild orange aromas with some light grass and yeast. The taste is pretty mild with cereal grains and just a tad of citrus sweetness from the oranges. Medium-light bodied, kind of boring. Lacking lots of character and spices. Just straight-up easy to drink.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy pour with lush white cap. Tastes of sweet cereals soaked in milk. Great balance between soft tongue & big bite. Almost gin like in its spicing.
