Brugs Tarwebier

Brewed by Alken-Maes (Heineken)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Jumet, Belgium

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Bottle. Hazy looking light orange colour with a three finger frothy head that was mostly diminishing. Fair lacing left in glass. Initial sniff reminded me of Hoegaarden with notes of citrus, coriander, apple, and banana. Mouthfeel was kind of disappointing compared to Hoegaarden, as this felt quit watery. Light to medium bodied, with a slight carbonated feel. Light sweet flavour with a ditto sweet finish. Not a great Witbier, I will take the Hoegaarden any day over this one.

Draft as "Brugs Witbier". Pale hazy golden color with a medium creamy white head. Aroma and taste of yeast, hops, citrus and coriander. Quite nice.

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2008 drank on draft at the Lille train station: can’t say The aroma is lemony and acidic a bit too acidic for a white. pouts a pale yeallow with whiteish hue. flavor is astringent with some lemon notes, and some spice. decent palate. nothing special Re-rate: Aroma is tart and tangy with a bit of lactic acid. Flavor is fresh with lemony notes, and some lactic tang. Flavor is so much better than I formerly thought. The acidic quatlity is a lot more refrehsing and flavorful than I formerly thought.

Bottled as Brugs Witbier. Haazy pale yellow in colour. small white head and minor lacings. It has a fruity and hoppy flavour towards lemon. The flavour is yeasty and hoppy, a bit spicy with a soft mouthfeel.

Bottled as Brugs Witbier. Pours a pale hazy yellow with a white head. Tastes rounded of malts, bread and wheat. Soft mouthfeel. Light bodied. Low carbonation. Short dry finish. Weak.

Cloudy light yellow body, small white head with good lacing. Lemons and more lemons. Lemony tartness. Some wheat and yeast are drowning in this lemon juice. I bought it as a Blanche De Bruges. They’ve probably changed the name cause it was bad for tourism to associate such a boring beer to one of Belgium main attraction.

well water, slightly cheesy/sweaty/baked bread aroma; typical faint witbier presence; yet seemingly simple, and in the end, clean... not bad, not great. somewhat chewy yet smooth palette, fruity notes of sweet lemon--not sour, could use a lil’ twist. decent brew.
