25cl bottle. Pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma is of citrus and agrumes, some orange peel. Taste is hoppy, fruity (orange, lemon) and lightly spicy (coriander/black pepper) aftertaste. Ligh, refreshing, and something really new and interesting in a blanche. I am really impressed by the 3 Dames brewery. Some of their beers seem to have this signature spice and also an excelent stout.

Hazy straw colour, nice fluffy but tight head. Lemony, yeasty, spicy nose, fruity, pretty intense palate, with more citrus, the mandatory bubble-gum edge, coriander and yeast. Nice dryish, noticeably bitter finish, with little sweetness lingering. Brave, dryish, very drinkable take on the style, led by a firm belief that a blanche can be more than just a refreshment. Definitely one of the best blanches Switzerland has to offer, along with BFM’s and Bière de Neuch’s.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white fluffy/creamy head. Aroma is spices, a lot of citrusfruits and some mild acidicness too. Flavour is very spicy (coriander), fruity and also some yeastyness. Very refreshing.
