COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned.
Also sold as Blanche de Quenast in Dia/Ed supermarkets, as Floreffe Wit for Floreffe Abbey, as Mediterranea for the Italian market, as Blanche de Francorchamps, as t Geheim van de Smit, as Manneken Pis, and as L’Alsacienne Blanche de l’Eté.
Ingredients: Malted barley; wheat (40%); coriander; bitter orange peel; sugar; hops; yeast.
Blanche de Bruxelles owes its natural cloudiness to the large percentage (40 %) of wheat that goes into its composition. The natural spice aromas of coriander and bitter orange peels are added during the brewing process. The brewing method, which includes infusion, is very slow. The beer, which is not filtered, is bottled and refermented with yeast and brewing sugar. You need only take a sip of this delicious drink to appreciate the fresh and mellow flavour with its hint of orange. It is really not like any other beer. Always served chiled, between 3°C and 6°C.

R2k2 (122) - NETHERLANDS - JUN 11, 2013
Not an orange color, but white colored beer. Nice firm layer of foam. The aroma contains something of wheat or brown bread, and also slightly sour. It tastes somewhat sour and warm. The aftertaste is somewhat slightly bitter. Geen oranjekleurig, maar wit troebel witbier. Mooi stevige schuimkop. In het aroma, iets van tarwe en bruinbrood, en in de verte iets zurigs. De smaak is zurig en vol. En de lichtbittere nasmaak maakt dit een mooi bier.

Minder stoffig en kruidig als ander witbier. Aangename dorstlesser. Zweem van bloemen en jong fruit.

Ignatious (11) - Colorado, USA - JUN 10, 2013
16oz can. Pours pale yellow with a little bit of a citrusy bite. A cool refreshing beer that is not terrible but lacks a certain something to make it better than average.

jflopsu (119) - New Jersey, USA - JUN 9, 2013
Pours a hazy yellow. Has a nice citrusy - lemon - aroma. A light citrus flavor that isn’t overpowering and has some slight pilsner/ hop taste to it at the end - also not overpowering.

Xstream (123) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 31, 2013
Nice wheat beer. Light and balanced in flavor. Starts with tart like malts and fruity bread, followed by a subtle herbal citrus flavor. Slightly spicy with a tart like light finish. Nice white beer.

BeerGolem (505) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 29, 2013
Bouteille 330 ml. Une banche vraiment blanche. Arôme de malt, de blé et d’agrumes. Pas grand chose au goût. Mince en bouche. Rafraîchissante, sans plus...

MarinEvelyn (157) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 25, 2013
Aroma is full of spices and citrus. a little earthy or something, not quite sure. Tastes fruity, sweet, wheaty, spice, and again, something else I’m not quite sure of. Something off about it. Grows on me a little as I drink, but not my favorite.
