750ml bottle. Not what I was expecting from St. Bernardus. Poured a beautiful golden yellow with nice haze and lacing. Nose was very citric and tart, as was the finish. I should have let this brew sit a bit longer.

St. Bernardus Blanche is a fantastic Belgian White. The color is a very hazy yellow with a nice creamy white head. The flavor is full of orange and corriander and is very smooth going down.

Big 750 ml bottle at Rob and Beki’s in Pace, Florida. Thanks, Rob! Pours cloudy and yellow, almost white in color. Smells of yeast and slightly of tart apple. Tastes tart, lemony and slightly spicey. A very fine example of the style.

Pours a cloudy orange with about a finger of stark white head. Aroma of lemon peel. Interesting taste, very light mouthfeel, almost watery, but ends with a nice taste of orange and banana with a slightly bitter aftertaste. I’m not a big witbier fan, but I am a fan of Bernardus, and they do not disappoint with this.

bottle poured a hazy golden amber in color with tons of yeast at the bottom and producing a thick two finger head of white foam backing off to a thin layer. aroma has sweet yeast, grains, lemon tarts, citrus, and some grass. mouth feel is thin but the texture is interesting, thick and thin at the same time. flavor is wheat and grains put against some sweetness. citrus and lemons make an appearance in a desert like way taking things in another direction with spice and grass. one of the best wits i have tried with many layers of flavors to offer.

(Bottle) Hazy custard color with sudsy foam. Smells yeasty with strong lemon, lemon verbana, and orange as well as more subtle mint and cilantro. Mouthfeel is spritzy, solid, soft, smooth. Flavors start off with pumpkin & yam sweetness, then progress through herbs, perfume, and honeydew before yielding to lemon custard at the end. One of the more complex witbiers.
