COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned.
Also sold as Blanche de Quenast in Dia/Ed supermarkets, as Floreffe Wit for Floreffe Abbey, as Mediterranea for the Italian market, as Blanche de Francorchamps, as t Geheim van de Smit, as Manneken Pis, and as L’Alsacienne Blanche de l’Eté.
Ingredients: Malted barley; wheat (40%); coriander; bitter orange peel; sugar; hops; yeast.
Blanche de Bruxelles owes its natural cloudiness to the large percentage (40 %) of wheat that goes into its composition. The natural spice aromas of coriander and bitter orange peels are added during the brewing process. The brewing method, which includes infusion, is very slow. The beer, which is not filtered, is bottled and refermented with yeast and brewing sugar. You need only take a sip of this delicious drink to appreciate the fresh and mellow flavour with its hint of orange. It is really not like any other beer. Always served chiled, between 3°C and 6°C.

Fred82 (1757) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 26, 2012

330ml from SAQ.
Appearance : With yeast. Hazy pale yellow medium foamy white head. Some lacing.
Aroma : Grain and dusty yeast. Light hops. Lots of wheat. Very grainy.
Taste : Grainy with lots of wheat. Light spices with light orange peel. Finish lots of wheat, grainy,
Overall : Not bad but weak. Too grainy. Some nice citrusy notes, nice wheat. Nothing wrong, just a bit boring.

Scrapersnbeer (214) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 25, 2012

Aroma of sweetbread and citrus with a hint of spice. Cloudy pale yellow. Expecting a strong coriander presence but there isn’t one. Sweet tea front and slight bitter finish. Very light body. Simple but effective as a wheat beer.

Light- ok for the style, but very simple and uninteresting. I prefer more body and substance even on a lighter beer.

callmemickey (702) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 21, 2012

A: Cloudy straw yellow.. white head.. good lacing... S: Citrus... orange, lemon and coriander.. classic but not complex... T: Oranges dominate the palate.. lemon and coriander add some character... some hop bitterness and a dash of bready yeast rounds out a delightful taste M: Light bodied... crisp and refreshing... dry finish O: Definitely can do this on a warm day over again
