Commercial Description:
Blanche des Honnelles (1991) was originally very localised, and has since expanded beyond the boundries of the greater and lesser Honnelle rivers, from which it takes it's name. The Blanche des Honnelles leaves the beaten path somewhat. It has an amber colour which is after all the traditional appearance of the Blanches. It is also stronger (6%) than the Blanches that we know. Its taste is surprising and is not comparable to the brews with the same name that are now on the market. If the bouquet is subdued its first flavour is a stark dry sharpness against a pepper background. There is no acidity in this Blanche that is made with three cereals (barley, wheat, oats). It has a stimulating taste, leaving a subdued but refreshing final impression. Lots of character and curious.

Hazy pale gold with a large white head. Yeast seemed the predominant note in the aroma, though there was some malt too. Rather too much carbonation, but everything else was in place, as you’d expect from Abbaye des Rocs. Lovely fresh clove and grain taste with a dryness at the finish.

Golden, hazy with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of coriander, yeast, malt and light fruit. The flavour has notes of sweetness, malt, coriander, yeast, citrus, orange peel and other fruits. It definitely should be served at room temperature to give it’s full potential, and then it’s quite nice. 2507

Pours hazy golden with a mostly receding wispy white head. Aroma of banana, tropical fruits, unusual esters for a wit. Taste is lightly sweet, creamy yeast with flowery/fruity notes and a bit of peppery spice in the finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Very nice wit, I really liked the estery yeast character.

(bottle): Pours a light brown clear color. Big foamy whitish head. Floral aroma, some spices, maybc some grapefruit, but weak overall. Some effervescence. Floral, taste. Fizzy mouthfeel. Light. Spices go well with spicy tacos. Very light, watery taste.

Hmmm, lots of flavor which I don’t always get from Whites. This one even reminds me of a tripel more so than a white. Sort of spicy too. Like the 6%. Sometimes the big 750s are a handful if they’re too big. Very drinkable. Good Witbier.
