La Blanche de Lille

Brewed by Les 3 Brasseurs
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Lille, France

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Draft at the Lyon location. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of coriander and wheat as well as lighter notes of lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat and coriander as well as lighter notes of dusty hops, leady to a dry hay-like finish. The body is light. Boring.

3 Brasseurs Blanche 4.7% " Biere de mals d’orge et de froment, -delicatement acidulee, tres desalteeralnte". Tap served at a good temp with a nice sized foamy white head that soon settle to a ring and a bit of lace. Color is a clear amber after it settles a bit. Aroma is malt, beer,  yeast, a bit of fruit and spice. Flavor is like nose with just the right amount of carbonic tang to balance  other flavors. Body is great; ditto carbonation. Finish is like flavor, has some length and surprisingly due to low alcohol a bit of warmth, but is very drinkable and well crafted.

26/12/2011 75cl bottle "3 Brasseurs Blanche" from 3 Brasseurs Paris Saint-Denis, brewed and bottled at 3 Brasseurs Eragny @ Akke’s place - BB: 17/1/12 (2011-730) Thanks to Akke for sharing the bottle!

Cloudy straw yellow beer, creamy big white head, a bit stable, adhesive. Aroma: pretty spicy, coriander, bit sour, wheaty, sweet touch as well. MF: way too much carbon, light body. Taste: citrus, bit chemical, dirty malts. Aftertaste: watery, bit chemical. Very light, lacking flavour, an insult for the style. :p

Pours a cloudy whitish golden with a small white top. Aroma is mainly wheat and some malt although it is very faint. Taste is light, wheaty with nice banana esters and some clove. Very nice Belgian White.

Bière trouble, couleur de blé et coiffée d’un fin col blanc laissant une fine dentelle au verre. Des arômes légers de pamplemousse, d’herbes avec des notes de banane. Peu amère avec une pointe d’acidité. Légère effervescence, texture lisse, elle laisse en bouche une honnête fin aromatique.

En fût aux 3 brasseurs sur la rue St-Denis à Montréal. Cette bière est d’une couleur jaune pâle voilée et surmontée d’une épaisse mousse blanche affichant une bonne tenue. Au nez, on dénote des arômes de pain, de coriandre, d’épices et une touche florale. En bouche, ce sont les notes de pain qui dominent avec la coriandre, une certaine astringence et une légère amertume. Le corps est moyen, la texture est légèrement crémeuse en bouche et il y’aune bonne effervescence.

On tap at the Old Montreal location. Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color with a small sized head. Aromas and tastes of yeast, some citrus, wheat, and some spices.

Draught at the Brewpub, Toronto, ON as 3 Brewers White/Wheat.
Hazy orange colour with big foamy white head. Yeast, citric and wheat in aroma. Wheat, yeast, some spices and burned rubber in flavour. This is more like Hefeweizen, not Witbier. And rather good for a Hefeweizen.
