St. Bernardus Blanche (Witbier)

Bottle. The beer looks yellow, but in a bit darker shade, and hazy, but also creamy with a beautiful white head that lasts. Served in a trappist glass it looks fantastic. The aroma is superior: you have the grainy smell, typical for witbier, but also fruity and light citrus which excites your nose. The taste goes with the rest of the beer: I nearly loose words to describe superlatives: a full taste, a creamy, buttery taste, also grainy (witbier), with a light citrus, light bitter aftertaste. This is a very well balanced beer, that doesn’t overwhelm you, which is very remarkable, seen the light alcohol percentage. Conclusion: I’m so in love with the St Bernardus Wit, probably the best witbier in the world.

Cloydy, yellow beer with medium white head. Aroma is delicious: wheat, flowers, spicyness, bananas and lemon. Wheat malts, some sour lemon, flowers and spicys are found from the flavour. Surprisingly, quite sticky and nice to drink with lot of carbonation but not too much. Balanced, high-qualified witbier with very refreshing nuancees makes this beer to great cooler of summer heat.

33 cl bottle. A very hazy, brownish yellow beer. The head is huge, small bubbled and white in colour. Good lace. The aroma is spicy and lemony. Sharp and peppery yeast, sour lemon peel, wheat malts and banana. The yeast character is particularly interesting. Quite long finish with earthy yeast, fruitness and sweet wheats. The flavor is dryish and slightly sour due to yeast. Fruitness, especially banana gives some balancing sweetness. Yeasty and slightly toffyish finish with mild bitterness. The palate is medium bodied, sharply spicy and very soft at the same time. Well made and iteresting witbier.

0,33 l bottle. Hazy yellow color, good head. Nose is filled with citrus fruit and wheat. Flavor is also strong in wheats, with a nice balancing bitterness from the citrus. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a pretty much opaque brownish yellow with a medium sized white head that falls off far too fast. Citrus, yeast, wheat on the nose. Medium bodied with an excellent wit flavor. Full of yeasty wheat and light spice. Finishes with a light tingly spiciness. Pretty tasty overall.

Bottle pours very hazy straw yellow with a huge head. Alot of yeast, spice, and banana. Medium body with a soft banana and slightly bready and yeasty body. Smooth finish. Very nice beer. Need more for the summer. Fits the style nicely.

Fantastic fruity note for a lighter belgian wit, has a citrus-spicy-coriander top over a ripe juicy pear -tropical fruit base. Medium-bodied but good-sized flourish of fruit followed by spicy finish..It’s a pretty, hazy pale old gold color. Underrated IMO.- Points for sheer style.

33cl bottle, hazy yellow colour, small lasting white head, really well balanced aroma of yeast, citrus and spices, coriander and orange are prominent, sweet flavor, medium body, big fruity finish with a touch of bitterness, more than expected, really interesting
