Unibroue Blanche de Chambly

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)

wonderful if belgian or compagnard versions are too spicy for you...just the right sweetness and just the right amount of citrus/coriander....go for it.

(12. oz bottle) standard white, yellow hue, although a little more orange than the victory we sampled side by side. soft yeast aroma with noticable spicey element (clove). tight carbonation that leaves plenty of room for flavor. nice full wheat flavor and a dry finish. will definitely come back to this one in the future. it was noticably more dynamic than the whirlbit and the carbonation is perfect - balances the taste well. clean but not watery. embrace the unibrow. re-rate: i’ve tried a fair range of witbiers and this one still stands out at the top. subtle spices, great balance, but remains complex. it doesn’t venture to far out of the box but it masters the style. really a fantastic wit.

For wheat beer lovers this is ambrosia. An absolutely marvelous example of the style, with a delightful almost lambic tartness, this hazy, golden brew delivers a plethora of spice to the palate, goes down clean and refreshing, and is the perfect beer for almost any occasion, but particularly those hot summer nights spent sitting outdoors by a barbecue.

For a white ale, this beer is near the top. The aroma is a little soft but it shouldn’t be strong. The appearance is characteristic of a white ale. The flavor was not as strong as I expected but it was smooth and had a mellow aftertaste. There are a few better white ales out there but this one should not be overlooked.

wow. I’m surprised this beer is so hated! It’s meant to be cloudy (it’s a wietbier "from" Belgium). Great with lime. Has a fruity smell. My new favorite summer beer! Nice and light...refreshing. More tasty than traditional wheat ales.

I do really like this beer and would consider it to be one my favourite Beligum White Beers. The taste is very nice with a strong wheat taste and subtle hints of fruit and spice.

A very pleasant aroma that just lightly hnts at the fruit flavours, which are just as lght in the flavour as in the smell. The first taste is very bold but it’s far from overpowering and is very balanced and mellows out quite nicely, very clean.

One of my favorite beers, mostly because I like beers that are so unfiltered that you have to floss afterwards. Light, yeasty, citrusy aroma gives way to a medium, slightly sweet taste; the phenols are well controlled. The head is about what you’d expect; overall, a good example of a white ale. I’d call it one of my desert island beers.
