2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft at Saint Denis location - Really depressing take on a Belgian White. Good looking beer, cloudy with requisite internal glow, but terribly out of balance with lemon dominating all other flavors. If you have the chance pass.

This beer had the best flavor out of all the beers that Les 3 Brasseurs served which is not saying much. It was a good white beer with a strong wheat smell and flavor. Just had an OK texture and very small white head.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
A translucent yellowish ale with a thin lacing white head. A pleasant light lemony aroma, with typical bananas and cloves. In mouth, a decent wit with bananas and a bit of lemon. Well balanced and honest. On tap at Montreal St-Denis location, March 16 2008.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Poured a hazy light yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma was a citrus. This is one of a smoother tasting in this style, not overwhelming with citrus, but contrasted nicely with spice.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2010 [514-20070811] Tap @ 3 Brasseurs (Montréal, QC). Light banana aroma holds hints of methane. Hazy, pale yellow white body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Light banana continues in flavour with wheat characteristics and a heavy yeast. Medium body is has spices throughout. Interesting to try though not special. (5/3/6/3/11) 2.8
[2904D-20100617] Tap. Citrus yeast aroma has nice floral flour notes. Murky, light brown yellow body with a long-lasting thick creamy white head. Light flour flavour has lots of citrus yeast, a bitter background, and odd dusty notes afterward. Medium body is a tad watery. Good. (7/4/7/3/14) 3.5

Drink a pint of this one at the 3 Brasseurs pub. Medium head. White color. Good taste and go down very well.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the St Catherine/Crescent location. Doesn’t look, smell or taste like a Wit, but is very good all around. I wasn’t aware this was available in bottles, or I’d have bought a couple. They sell "beer cocktails", one of which includes the great Sortilege mixed with this brew - highly recommended!
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Biggish white head. Pale hazy grayish body. Artificial mealy aroma. Acidic sharp spicy mealy taste, kind of dry. Dry, citric metallic aftertaste. Didn’t appeal to me, to sharp, spicy, artificial and unbalanced. (0.275l draft Montreal, St. Catherine.)
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JUL 19, 2007 Rue St-Catherine brewpub: Clear, light golden hue. White bubbly head of 1 finger and good retention. Aroma is sweet and lively with floral and citrus notes. Flavor is much the same with almond and amaretto aftertaste. Palate is strange becuse of astringent lingering feeling. this one was called the "St. Anne Blanche" at the St Caterine’s location.

Had at the brew pub on St. Chathrien’s street in Montreal. This was the weakest offering from their selection, but still pretty good. This drank less like a wit and more like hefe, mostly due to the banana and wheat apparent in the taste and the aroma. The taste of orange citrus, light corriander and clove lets you know its a wit, but it needed to be less sweet and have more of a bitter finish to be a completely satisfying wit. I felt the body was a bit thin, too.
