Commercial Description:
Blanche De Brooklyn, a traditional Belgian-style white beer, or biere blanche, is named after its striking pale color. Blanche de Brooklyn, formerly a seasonal product, is now available year-round. White beers are made with a traditional dose of coriander seed and Curacao orange peel added during the boil for extra snappy flavor. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver also adds his own secret selection of spices of Blanche de Brooklyn.

Sweet wheaty aroma greets the drinker with a hint of citrus. Flavor was much of the same with bananna coming through along with some nice citrus notes. I enjoyed it with my only knock being that the beer was a bit thin and watery. Other than that a solid beer during summer.

On tap at The Thirsty Monk, Asheville. Nice witbier aroma. Light with lemon/orange notes and mild wheat. Sweet with a bit of funk. Cloudy golden yellow with very little head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with wheat and mild citrus peel, a bit of bubblegum. Light crisp acidity and bitter in the finish. Fairly thin, but clean after.

Growler bottled sample from shigadeyo. Pours hazy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Heavy clove and banana aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium balanced sweet flavor with a medium citrus sweet finish of an average duration. My expectations where met with a hefe style brew.

<b>12/02/2007</b>: Blanche de Brooklyn has an cloudy, unfiltered pale lemon yellow color with an extremely dense, rocky white head. The head leaves thick lacing on the glass and there is an lively amount of carbonation that is appropriate for the style. The aroma also fits the style well as it contains lots of wheat, a bit of spice &#40;light coriander&#41;, and a very faint hint of orange peel. The creamy wheat flavor contains some banana and sprinkle of spice &#40;clove&#41; and grated orange zest. This beer is somewhat creamy on the palate and has a medium body. Overall this is an extremely drinkable brew. However, I think it might remind me more of a German Hefe than a Belgian Wit. Either way, it is quite good!<br /><br /> <i>1/2 gallon growler fill from Party Town in Florence, Kentucky. Rating #97 for this beer...</i><br />
