Bought from Terroir in Montreal. Pours pale gold with a large frothy-white head. Aroma of yeast and spices. Flavor was initially quite mild, but soon revealed accents of clove, coriander, grains of paradise, and other spices (leaning more herbal). Beyond the spicy notes, there was a mild sweetness but little else. Finish was medium in length, with yeasty flavors. Overall, this brew continues my hunch that Charlevoix can really craft some complex, subtly-flavored Belgian beers. However, Blanche in my opinion fails to fully please the palate due to a lack of firm flavor, too often dissolving into an array of herbal spice.

Bonne blanche avec le gout épicé (coriandre) particulier des bières de charlevoix. Se boit très bien. Gout de citron, banane et autres fruits. Agréable sensation en bouche, plus que correct.

500mL bottle purchased for $4 - I think it was at Marche Joanette in Montreal back in February, so perhaps not as fresh as should be for a wheat beer. Pours a cloudy white with a fizzy fluffy head. Decent aroma of the light Belgian wit variety - coriander and the like. The first gulp is very quenching - light and sparkly on the tongue and very much to the Belgian wit style. Spices in the aftertaste. A little too light-bodied - but yet again, that’s the style, innit?

500mL bottle. Pours your typical nice looking Wit with a huge white, fluffy head. Aroma is, once again, your a-typical Wit, the usual suspects, lots of yeasty goodness, a touch of soap. But the flavour in this one is really where it shines. Great wheaty malty notes the whole way through, typical corriander, but with a sharp bite of something else, some other spice in the finish, that makes it even more tasty and sets it apart from a lot of other Wit’s I’ve had. Curacao? Just more corriander? Very floral. A little soapy, but not in an off way. Definitely not clove, something surely is different, but in a good way. Decent bubblegum flavour too, something I usually like but find absent in a lot of examples of this style. A top notch Belgian Wit, and something that really htis the spot nicely on such a hot and humid day.

Smell is lightly fruity, flowers, banana, missing something. Some alcohol. Straw yellow color with a light head. Carbonation. Banana in the taste, light, needs something else to complete.
