Rating 1049. (Beer listed on menu and on glass as "Witbier - Beir Blanche - my rating should probably go here but if not please notify me and I will move it) On tap served in a trappist glass at this nice little cafe 1 block north of the Louvre in Paris. Hazy lazy medoum brightness golden with a medium sized long lasting foamy white head. Nose is strong with lots of yeast, malts and grains. Taste is more earthy, more yeasty and a lot of grain and piney hops. A good beer in a great city. The experience is what made this beer.

Sep 5, 2007 Golden blond colour. Mild aroma with some yeastiness coming through. Flavour is quite bland. It’s a bit dry and a bit yeasty. Overall it’s mediocre and not very easy to drink.

Aroma is jeasty,citrus,grazyand dust, with some alc in the end. Flavor is almost the same here, medium body, with a typical jasy,citric medium finish.
Ok, but not so interesting.

Aug 30, 2006 Bottle, own flute glass @ De’ Pub, Brugges Belgium.
Sparkling, bright amber body that was well charged with fine streams of carbonation that erupted up to a firm, 1½", rocky white head of foam that laced wildly down the glass. Woody, piney and malty sweet aroma that was full and edged by a lick of tangy marmalade and some alcohol spice. Similar in the mouth with some dominant sweet, toffee and biscuity malts balanced by husky grains, tangy fruit conserve and a spicy, peppery backdrop. Bitter on the swallow, good length in the malty aftertaste with hints of vanilla and straw. It actually comes off refreshing. Nice firm body, quite light in carbonation, prickly, and creamy in the back. Quite liked this, as far as blonde’s go this is in a separate field altogether. Nice balance, tasty and quenching. A solid Belgian ale. (33cL, no date stamp, labelled Brugse Blond)
