St. Bernardus Blanche (Witbier)

Pours a nice pale yellow/orange color with a nice pillowy white head. Just what you want to see in a quality wit. Aroma was a bit overly citrus on first "sniff" in my opinion. As it warmed, this was less pronounced and more balanced. Same type of dynamic with the first few sips - very citrusy... but then became less so. Not sure if it’s my palate adjusting or the flavor changing slightly as the beer breathes and warms. Overall, would recommend. A nice complement to the right dinner menu as well and a great summer or warm weather beer.

Bottle (best by 31/05/10). Poured a hazy lighter yellow with a nice white head. Orange and lemon in the aroma with light hints for fruit in the background. The flavor lemon and spices evenly mixed with some wheat. Light body and tingly on the tongue.

Huge head and goregous blonde white color. Aroma of the last time I threw-up. Nasty. The flavor is great. Very lite bitterness. I equate this to a cream soda with hint of malt and orange spice. Fix the nasty smell and you’ve got an allstar of a beer here.

Bottle (pretty and shiny). Pours a cloudy gold with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast, bread, light spices, nad wheat. Flavor of spritzy carbonation with a wheat finish. Some sweet candy (watermelon), sour yogurt, light fruity sweetness. Wheat finish. Nicely balanced. Spices are subdued and work well with the light sweet fruits. This is excellent and so tasty when it warms. I love true Belgian witbeers and this is my favorite. Excellent and underrated on this site.

Draught @ Ebenezer’s. Pours cloudy pale gold, thin fizzy head. Aroma is lemon zest, crisp wheat and a bit of yeast. Taste is sweet, crisp wheat, a bit of spicy yeast to fill out a very clean beer. Bit of banana on the dry finish. Coriander and lemon zest bitterness is very restrained. Light to moderate carbonation over a medium body.

Bottle. Aroma of delicate coriander and spicing, and very lively citrus and melon notes. Intriguing grassy-herbal notes pop up upon warming. Flavor follows suit, all the flavors are so lively, bouncing into one another, but in a good way, like little bubbles of flavor having a party in my mouth. Moderate carbonation, dry finish, leaves all those fruity notes lingering. Excellent.

Pours hazy grapefruit with bubbly white head. Aromas are of peach, white grape, with some lemon lime citrus. Flavor is sweet and citrusy with some yeasty spice and sweet malt. Nothing breathtaking, but expertly balanced and crafted. Palate is a little on the light side, but crisp and refreshing. Dry finish. I’d take this on a hot summer day over any other beer ever.

Aroma is just a sour scent. Color is a hazy pale yellow. Carbonation is good with a nice loose head. Taste is mild, sour and orange. Stating with a light body it goes down with a crisp yet smooth feel. Finish come on with a sour twang with a little coriander and a hint of orange. Overall I think its a nice brew but not as good as I though it would be.
