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.

Location: On tap at the Brewery, 7/18/09, I think I may have had this before, can’t remember.

Aroma: Orange, lemon, coriander, banana, wheat
Appearance: Nice cloudy yellow typical look for a Belgian White
Flavor: Citrus-Fruity and sweet, light spiciness, solid flavor
Palate: Light to medium body, easily drinkable, a bit of creaminess, smooth
Overall Impression: Nice, solid brew. Not a lot of extra information to say about this one.
While I’m here, I will say the brewery was a cool place to grab a drink on a Saturday afternoon, and was particularly packed full of people enjoying 3PM beers.

Nate (3093) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 31, 2008
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.

hopscotch (7526) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUN 22, 2004
Murky, pear-colored beer with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is spicy in a traditional wit sense... notes of pear and clove. The flavor is well-balanced, but very light and watery. It mirrors the aroma. Silky mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Short, watery finish. Good for a wibier, but not at all my style.

madsberg (7528) - Søborg, DENMARK - MAY 26, 2005
Draught @ KØ 2005: Yellow coloured. Unclear. White medium sized head. Light wheat notes and spices dominate this beer. Is light acidic and citric. Banana flavours can be sensed. Has a fruity and light spiced yeastiness in the end. Quite nice without beeing a world class beer.

notalush (3742) - Denver, Colorado, USA - NOV 23, 2003
This tastes almost identical to their brooklyner weiss - lots of lemon and coriander in the aroma and flavor - cloudy golden appearance - wheat comes through in the finish - a decent wit.

brownaler (378) - Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA - JUN 23, 2005
Has the cloudy yellow apperance associated with belgian whites. Straw is dominant in the flavor with a slight spice flavor. In my opinion, it could use more of the spice.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2008 [draft at MacGregor’s - Henrietta, NY] Cloudy white pour with a thin white head. Looks a lot like Hoegaarden. Very spicy aroma of coriander, orange zest, yeast and cloves. Very light and tasty. The taste is very sweet and spicy at the beginning, but the flavor goes quickly away. All in all, it reminds me a lot of Hoegaarden.

On draft at N3rd. Attractive pint, big foamy head atop straw colored base. Lots of lemon and coriander: your standard crisp wit beer.
