Draught, Bateau de Nuit. Hazy straw. Thin head. Aroma is floral, pink peppercorns, and lots of hops. Spicy, sweet and fruity with coriander in the finish. Good, balanced character. Fun, tasty, very quebecois beer. Effortlessly good.

Bottle at Hrvati. Pale golden pour with a thin white head. The aroma is very rich with a lovely combination of soft cinnamon and clove. There also seems to be a bit of ginger and a lovely bit of malt sweetness. There is a great yeast contribution in here. Moderate bitterness that helps to balance the sweetness. It’s a really lovely brew. Rich and pretty delicious. Fairly warming. Me likey.

A different wit. Bold flavours, more of a sipper winter warmer. Nice though I could not drink loads of this. Spicy aroma.Above average mouthfeel.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2006 Banana and cinnamon bread and creamy yogourt for this strong witbier...Citrus trees covered by a milky, clovey dew...The 2004 and 2006 are much better than the first year’s and have evolved into another of DDC’s excellent, unique witbier creations...

2012-12-15. Hazy dark yellow, small white head. 3+ Strong spicey aroma, coriander, spice, floral notes. 6+ Flavour has similar strong spice character, coriander, relatively bitter, sweetish pale malt base. Smooth average plus to medium bodied soft carbonation. 3+ Spice character is a bit too strong for me. Bottle aged six months from Au Coin Duluth, Montreal
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On Tap, 8% alcohol winter 2004 batch. Cloudy light golden body with a small white head. Huge aroma of spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, coriander), very complex. Cloves and banana remind a good german weizen, but such spices complexity is uncommon outside Belgium. This is a decadent wit that makes you wonder how all those flavours can blend together. Good creamy velvety body. Decadent and flavorful altogether, an imperial wit in which the alcohol remain unnopticeable despite being 8%.

Tap. 8% .Hot spicy, Belgian ale aroma. Grassy, flowery meadow behind. Pleasant rich aroma. Sunset gold with medium fine head. Medium bodied, sweet honey, meadow flavours, gently spiced. Clean and drinkable strong ale. Be aware!

Draught. At Dieu du Ciel. Pale clear gold pour with a small white head. Aroma was spicy, fruity and lightly yeasty - like a pungent saison, very fragrant and clover-sweet. The taste was apple, alcohol, spice and sweet, sweet malt - good, warming. My note on mouthfeel: "alc! - sugary ... 3" - had a fairly long, moderately boozy sweet finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear golden body with a long-lasting small white head. Ice-tee and perfume aroma. Very yeasty beer with peach and apricots flavours. Very sweet, even sugary. Perfume in the taste as well. Alcohol very well hidden, fells like 5%. This came from an 7 months aged cask at DDC 8th anniversary. If memory serves me right it is better fresh. Unlike the other Snow White (Blanche Neige) this one is not destined to become a classic.
