Blanche de Namur

Brewed by Du Bocq
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Purnode-Yvoir, Belgium

Cloudy Yellow Coloring with White Frothy Head. Citrus, Spices and Dry Yeasty Aroma. Thick Bubbly Mouthfeel, Medium Bodied. Light Notes of Coriander and Spices...Citrus..Dry Belgian Yeast...Dry Smooth Finish. Very Solidly Enjoyable Wit Bier.

This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop marked 08/08/09 lot E0947 cork number 145985 poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy softly carbonated light yellow-orange colored body. The mild aroma was floral and malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt hops soft fruit and coriander.

Bottle. a good witbier. poured a lighter body then many other witbiers. nice puffy white head.

Bottle. High white creamy and long lasting head. Hazy light green / yellow body. Lomon coriander flavor Pretty heavily carbonated but light flavor of lemon or grape fruit with coriander. Short aftertaste.

Pours a bubbly hazy light straw golden color, with a medium white head. Definate spice, with the corriander very present, as well as some of the anise, citrus peel, and a light biscuity sweet malt. Heavily carbonated, and very heavily spiced. I understand using the Corriander and licorice, but this is a little extreme. It’s like when you go to use a salt shaker and dump way too much on your food. The food might be fantastic, but the salt covers most of it up.

Bottle -- Probably my least favourite beer style in the world, but here goes... A slightly cloudy weak yellow with abundant carbonation and a huge sudsy white head with incredible retention that actually gets in the way of the beer. Crisp aroma of citrus. Quite creamy palate. Flavour has banana and more sour citrus. Perhaps there’s a bit of coriander in there too, but not nearly as prominant as in other brands. Nice fruity aftertaste. Not a bad beer, considering, but ridiculously expensive in Oz.

Botttle. Have had several of these with moderate to medium expectations, which it exceeded. Pours a cloudy gold, can taste the coraiander but a good balance. Recommended.

buona blanche anche se - a quanto pare - disdegnata dai più; comprata da Ciobì, pagata 3.50, ma già bevuta al Corsaro Nero un paio di sere prima, accompagnata a panino con bresaola grana e olio. Bevuta anche alla spina come aperitivo a Camogli di recente, eccellente per combattere la calura.
