St. Bernardus Blanche (Witbier)

Bottle at home. Unclear yellow/orange - white head. Aroma: Fruity, citrus, orange, coriander, yeast. Taste: Wheat, yeast, fruity, orange, citrus. Weak finish.

33cl bottle from Florian’s in Auburn. Murky yellow body with a half an inch of off-white head. Probably the most opaque witbier I’ve had. Smells citrusy and earthy. Tastes citrusy and earthy too, but these flavors are somewhat muted by the yeastiness of the beer. Light, closer to medium bodied because of the yeast. Carbonation, while present, is also muted due to the yeastiness. Not sure what to make of this one. I think it’d be better if it had less yeast.

Bottle. Orange/yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is wheat, citrus, orange. Flavour is wheat, citrus, orange.

Light yellow, cloudy colored. Little white head. Mild aroma with spices and some orange. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is also surprisingly thin with mild spices and obvious orange. Aftertaste is lemony and yeasty with slightly carbonated and crispy palate. Expected more out of this.

11.2 oz bottle. Hazy, apple juice like appearance with a small head. The aroma of this beer is tangy lemon, maybe some orange, spicy, and yeast driven. Taste is coriander, orange, lightly tangy lemons, malts, yeasty, lightly bready with a slightly tart finish. Light bodied with light/medium carbonation.

Pale color, small white head. Very strong yeast aromas with some clove and fruit. Very creamy body, but lacking in flavor and finish, it just ends with no real resolution.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow in colour. Minor white head, lacings. It has a strong yeasty aroma with a yeasty flavour as well. The after taste is dry and, I’m sad to say, dishwater like.

Bottle. Pours with a cloudy pale gold body and a medium white head. Aroma is yeasty with some banana and bubble gum. Flavor is light with yeasty and fruity notes. Somewhat complex. Thin body, refreshing.
