On tap @brewery, a cloudy yellow beer with low head. Aroma is malty with lemon and round notes, finish is slightly hopy with fresh bread notes, not bad body, fruit notes such as curacao. Well balanced, ok !

Medium creamy lasting white head. Hazy opaque pale yellow body. Spicy floral aroma with wheaty citric notes. Fresh and clear. Dry-sweetish spicy floral mealy taste with citric notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish mealy spicy floral citric aftertaste. Very drinkable, balanced, and harmonic. Lovely and fresh in the heat. (0.25l draft at brewpub. It was just listed as "blanche". Not sure whether it was this one or another. Should probably be "Biere Blanche".)

Draught, 5.6%. Nicely spicely, slightly citric aroma. A sweet spiciness with cloves. Cloudy yellow colour. Small, tight white head. The flavour is citricly refreshing, spicy, with a good cloviness balancing the lemon flavour. Perhaps a little on the sweet side, but very good.
