St. Bernardus Blanche (Witbier)

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Watou, Belgium

750 ml. bottle, poured this into a wit glass and got a huge head of egg whites and a milky yellow body, very lemony, with clove and coriander spices, crisp spicy finish

It pours a cloudy yellow with a orange edge, and struts a fine white foam. Tart fruit greets the nose, orange, spice, and a slight grassy character. In the mouth, it comes cross soft and quite refreshing. First a slight malty sweetness with a mild orange, the medium carbonation playing the tongue. Then it shifts into it’s more tangy spicy notes, leaving the mouth with only a subtle spiciness.

A nice Belgian white ale, but this style is not my perference. The taste is fruity and light. The palate was good, but the taste is too fruity for me, almost like a cider. Reminds me of a less banana-ie version of Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat.

A very tastey Witbier. The bottlee has been redesigned for this year, and is just marked as St. Bernardus Wit. Aroma is lightly sweet with some coriander. Pours with a creamy, white head with excellent retention and good lacing. The body is cloudy and very yellow. Taste is very good, clean, and spicey, but a tad bit too dry for my taste. Very dry mouthfeel but with nice playful carbonation. A very good offering from St. Bernardus.

Thanks to Bman1113VR for bringing this to my most recent tasting. Very good wit. Pours a pale yellow color with a nice fluffy white head that has great retention throughout. Taste is a bit sour and has an acidic aftertaste at first that dies down after it breaths a bit. Great wit beer, possibly my favorite.

sweet fresh yeast aroma, lemon pepper too. murky yellow head fell too quickly. tart sour lemon in large amounts up front, pepper and coriander middle, soft wheat moderate yeast finish. carbonation is overactive and tastes forced. light mouthfeel.

Easy drinker. A bit one dimensional though. Not especially fruity, citrusy or spicy. Pretty yeasty though. Ehhh, solid witte but probably won’t buy again.

Big white head that disioates quickly. Yellow to white color. Smell and taste of lemon and grapefruit. Not to over powering with citrus though refreshing.
