COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Starting with this naturally pure Abitibi Esker water, Mons Abbey Witte is brewed with passion and devotion to time-honored Belgian tradition from a blend of malted and unmalted wheat infused with Styrian Golding hops, Hallertau Hersbrucker, and a hint of coriander and orange peel for a discrete citrusy bouquet.

Belle bière dorée, légèrement voilée et glacée d’un épais col mousseux laissant une très légère dentelle au verre. Des arômes fruités de céréales maltées, de zestes d’orange et de grains de coriandre crus. Elle est peu amère, très légèrement acide, de corps très léger, bref, désaltérante! Elle est lisse et très effervescente. Très belle bière de soif!

probstblueribbon (2378) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 11, 2013
750 ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, served cool in a tulip glass.

App.: Hazy light golden with a fragile white head. Aroma: Fairly spicy and zingy, some nice citrus peel, a little yeast, some wheat, a touch of a savoury note..., light esters, fair. Palate: Medium body, fairly lively effervescence. Flav.: More esters than the nose, a little floral honey, lighter spice and citrus character, faint yeast, fairly refreshing; dry with low bitterness and a somewhat vapid wheat-like finish.

Not particularly memorable...for either good or bad characteristics.

Ok witbier but a bit on the mild/bland side. Everything is there but not to the extent I would like it, ie. there could be more wheat influence in the malt and as the bottle says there is a "hint" of coriander and orange peel and that is accurate. Not bad and easy drinking but not enough character to be a memorable beer.

Very light in color, smell is not overpowering. Taste is great to start but a more then anticipated bitter end to a beer with high expectations. If your expecting something similar to a blue moon you are mistaken. This is lighter, less wheatier flavor, and bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

tom10101 (1046) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 18, 2013
Bottle (750 ml). Shared by Franky Boy, thanks! Straw color with a small white head and almost no lacing. Aroma of malt, slight orange peel and really discrete spices. Taste is fruity along with malt, lemon zest, orange peel and light coriander. Medium body. Moderate carbonation but somewhat sparkling at times. Good balance and drinkability. Not too much coriander and orange as in some other Belgian White. Surprising.

VincentDamon (146) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - APR 14, 2013
Belle couleur jaune paille, pratiquement pas voilé (ce qui est rare pour une blanche), très effervescente, avec une mousse blanche généreuse. Nez d’oranges, d’agrumes subtils, d’ananas, avec un soupçon d’épices (coriandre), de même que de sel marin. En bouche, l’orange domine avec le côté épicé qui complète. Belle acidité : il en résulte une blanche tout de même légère qui descend bien. Ce n’est pas voilé, comme je disais, et pas lourd non plus. Très tout-aller. Cheers!

Bottle. Poured a hazy golden with a good head and not much lacing as it went. Bubbles constantly rising as I drank. Got floaters half way though. Guess I did not pour carefully. Coriander and citrus in the aroma. More of the same in the flavor. It was ok.

Tastes like it came form belgian, other than that I can’t say much, it is a mild and unoffensive witbier.

Boutip (3971) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 4, 2013
Bottle: Poured a pale yellow ale with white haze and a medium size foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of coriander and light orange peel is quite dominant. Taste is a mix between nice coriander and orange peel notes with medium wheat malt presence and light lingering sweet notes. Body is about average full with medium carbonation. The level of spice is pretty bang on but it lacks a bit of body and better carbonation.

Tricker (205) - Quebec, CANADA - FEB 13, 2013
Bière blanche de 5 % d’alcool. Moyen col mousseux au versement. Elle possède un goût assez doux avec un bon goût de blé. Aucune amertume lié à des agrumes, qui est une tendance chez une bière blanche habituellement. Très bonne !
