The Blanche portion of the Voie Maltee Blonde, Blanche, Rousse et Noir experience. Pale yellow. Hazy, fluffy head. Limey, wheaty aroma. Sweet & sour. Moderate citrus character. Fresh, fruity.

11.08.10 500 ml draft @ cochon dingue down in Sillery, QC. A: spicy, cloves a bit of cook vegetable in the mix. App: hazy blond with small white head nice lacing. T/P : body is thin with short bitter finish. O: Ok pretty refreshing served it purpose on that hot day

Originally rated October 2006. Sampled at the pub itself, in Jonquière, Quebec. This one was very close to being the Muse witbier they brew, but had slight changes. The nose was sour, and the taste was actually quite smokey, which made this beer really interesting and better than they other.

on tap. clear pale yellow, very slight haze, with a small white head. funky yeast aromas of creamed corn - odd. lightly hopped. light to medium body, soft carbonation.

UPDATED: AUG 3, 2007 Second try, still at the brewpub:
The Belgian character of this Weizen was still present, and in fact the funky yeastiness I so loved in their Muse was present here too (but wasn’t 6 months ago). Tropical fruit and this citric, wild yeast blended admirably, and summer quenching was reached, and much more! 3.7/5

First try:
Any first impressions?
-A veil of foam tops the cloudy pale yellow; an obvious wheat beer appearance.
-Clovey phenols rise above the otherwise discreet aroma.
-Milkiness runs through the hay, as tartness makes its quenching.
-The creamy mouthfeel is aptly carbonated, but doesn’t carry enough flavors to really be interesting.

What if you dig deeper?
-Some banana esters are found in the nose and flavor profile.
-Fruity bubblegum sweetens the spectrum.
-Citrus fruit evolves from the tartness.
-This quenching German wheat does have its Belgian leanings, but in any case it remains a lightly spicy and fruity generic "blanche" to me.

On tap at the brewpub.

A pale yellow beer with a disappearing white head. I wonder if it is the slim glass it is sampled in, that gives it the pale yellow color. The aroms is sweet wheaty, and the flavor is sweet wheaty with light citrus notes. At the brewpub I was told it was a German Weizen, which it is not, so the listing here is the correct one, but it doesn’t have much spice for a Belgian Wit. I am disappointed.

Wheat malt, hay, cereal and a light citrus tone to the mildly spicy aroma. Opaque yellow body is topped with a decent white head that recedes to cover with some lacing. Citrus tone to the simple wheaty flavour with spiciness appearing at the finish. Light body with carbonation that is a bit too low for this style. Sampled at the brewpub with Oakes, Rastacouere and Ungstrup.

Drank a pint of this one at Voie Maltee pub. This is a witbier. Cloudy texture. Interesting nose. Good taste with a sour finish. Not the best white I’ve tried but a good one.
