drpimento (534), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Mar 31, 2008 This is not the Manniken Pis that we used to get. That stuff was IT! This isn’t too bad a substitute, but still it ain’t it. Pale hazy yellow in color, white head and decent lace. Slightly sweet and tart. Not too thin. Drinkable. Some citrus but little spicyness. Having this draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin.
scrizzz (537), kirkland, Washington, USA Dec 4, 2008 Froot loops! Tropical aroma bordering on artificial. Sweet sticky texture, distracting. Blah. bluevegie (1818), Perth, Australia Dec 3, 2008 Very pale straw body, cloudy and a decent white head. The aroma is distinctive not sure about pleasant though, citrus and wheat. Taste is better than the aroma, smooths out a bit, light flavour notes of lemon and yeast. Beerlando (1460), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 1, 2008 Draft at Eola Wine Company. Tap handle said Blanche de Bruxelles. The pour yields a cloudy, pale yellow colored body with a creamy, snow white head. The foam displays good retention, sticking around fr ages and leaving large flares and spots of lace on the glass. Aromas are sweet for a witbier, notes of candy and citrus showing atop the requisite pale wheat. Flavors follow suit, mild wheat grains accompanied by lemon and orange rinds and light candy sugar. A glimmer of floral hopping shows on the finish. Light to medium bodied and finely carbonated, the swallow is easy going, but perhaps a touch too sweet for the style. It’s a decent enough witbier, but there’s nothing overly special going on here. FriarHop (15), Brooklyn, Alabama, USA Nov 28, 2008 Bottled as Blanche de Bruxelles. Pours a cloudy yellow and develops the normal lacing for a wit. Aroma: stinky. Taste: fouled citrus, long lasting and muddled. halfonit (97), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Nov 21, 2008 Not my cup of brew. Has a very yellow color and hints of citrus to it. Tastes very citrus. It’s not really the type of style that I like. I can respect this style and those who like it, but this just isn’t for me.
