COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in Strasbourg for Alken-Maes, distribution unclear. Spiced.

Grimbergen Blanche is a true wheat beer in the most traditional sense. The pale yellow Blanche is cloudy, just as you would expect from a wheat beer. Notes of citrus and light carbonation add character to the creamy palate and make Blanche an excellent thirst quencher.

Bottle@Home. Coriander and clove aroma. Cloudy, yellow color, white head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, light sourish, lots of spices but very well balanced, coriander, clove, laurel. Flavorful and surprising. Don’t understand why it gets so low ratings here. It’s one of the best Belgian White I ever had.

omhper (17472) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 15, 2008
Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Cloudy pale straw colour, creamy head. Concentrated coriander and lemon juice aroma. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel and meium body. Orangey and heavily spicy. Really fruity with lots of coriander. Usually I am not a fan of strong witbiers, but I must admit to fancy this one.

TET (1095) - FINLAND - MAY 8, 2013
A slightly cloudy, yellow beer with an almost medium and blond head. Aroma is fresh, lots of lemon, wheat, spices and coriander, some sweetness. Taste of strongly wheat, yeast, lemon, quite much of spices, coriander. Taste is richer than usually, also the aftertaste is quite long. Medium bodied, lots of carbonation, fresh to drink, as a witbier should be. Tastefull beer with richer flavours than normally, still refreshning and easy; lemon, wheat and spices.

RexTalionis (1425) - FINLAND - MAY 4, 2013
Bottle 33 cl, BBE 08/2013. Pours hazy yellow in color with a small bubbly white head. Perfume, some coriander and orange peel in aroma. Quite soft and has a smooth mouthfeel. A bit of coriander in taste, some lemon and just a bit of butterscotch sweetness as well in flavor. No sharpness at all in this one, which is nice. A bit of peppery spicyness and ripe garden fruityness in finish.
