JulienHuxley (165), Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada Aug 29, 2009 Orange pour with thin white head. Aroma is rather weak a bit of spice, citrusand orange peel. Good full mouthfeel, verry little carbonation. Taste is rather bready, orange and herbal. Good balance. rodenbach99 (672), Longueuil, Quebec, Canada Aug 3, 2009 Bouteille brune de 750ml. Bière blonde dorée, pas de mousse. nez épicé, bouche levurée, épicée, 8,29$ chez grand duc. trop cher. bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Jul 30, 2009 Bottle, again at Saucisserie BDF, who else? 6,99$ for 750ml. Drank a few hours after a slightly deceiving Blanche de Chambly and I liked Hopfenstark’s rendition of this beer style I don’t like much. This one is far smoother and easily drinking and does not have that nasty sourness. Of course, there’s coriander but is rather discreet. So is the hoppiness: too bad here. Notes of fruits and grain are also obvious. For fans of the style, I think it is very interesting, as good as DDC’s Blanche du Paradis, with maybe more depth and body. Boutip (2330), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 10, 2009 Bottle: Poured a cloudy beige color ale with a small bubble head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of coriander and wheat malt with some dry notes. Taste is also dominated by loads of coriander with a lightly sour and dry aftertaste. Body is quite full with limited filtration with some low carbonation. Interesting and different take on the style but additional carbonation would have been welcomed. Sammy (3924), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 7, 2009 On tap at Moniale 2009. Was expecting, and did receive a solid witbeer. Cloudy yellow with orange highlights. Some sourness. Well carbonated. A bit too cold for a sample, but that’s OK. Good drinkability Diogène (542), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada May 24, 2009 Draft. Hazy yellow with a thin foamy head with average retention. Aroma is wheat, herbs, spices and lemon. Flavor is wheat, herbs, spices and herbal hops with some citrus. garthicus (1215), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 23, 2009 Appearance: Yellow with haziness. Small white head. Aroma: Lemon, grapefruit. Flavour: Grapefruit, lemon, some dandelion and finally some wheat. mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 17, 2009 [1794-20081017] Tap. Lovely spiced wheat aroma has a bit of cooking spices. Hazy, light orange brown body with quick white bubbles. More spiced wheat in the flavour with hints of cooked banana. Medium body. Lovely balance and aftertaste, very impressive brew.
