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.

"Solid whit. Poured a cloudy brown color medium head. Aroma was of coriander, floral and some funkyness. Flavor of wheat and citrus, the funk taste came out as it warmed up."

Seems a bit stronger than your average witbier, but then again I see that word double at the top of the page. Lots of plum and sherbet in the aroma. On tasting it seemed quite dusty and the alcohol was a bit too present. The flavour was a touch sour, but with some bitterness joining the party. It was medium bodied, and a little too gassy. Not bad, but it could be better. Could have been a dodgy bottle though.

Bottle, 33cl. Hazy yellow colour (almost amber) with a huge white head that lasts long. Very lively and beautiful. Aroma is sweet, with hints of fruits and yeast. Flavour is just fabulous: sweet, spicy and flowered, very refreshing and tasty. No acidity on this one. Blanche des Honnelles was a big surprise to me. Great appearence and marvellous flavour. Different from most of the Witbiers i know. But overall, one of the best Wits i’ve ever had!

At Kulminator, vintage 2003, so its is three years over time, vor a white bear... Light amber coloured, average white head. Rather old aroma, some citrus left. Medium body, Finish is citrus, fruityness. I was surprised by the well preserved beer. Still very enjoyable.

Got this with the glass, to find the glass isnt actually that good, anyway... Aroma is very wheaty indeed, maybe a slight touch of corn which put me off slightly. Taste is similar however maybe a bit sweet for a wit beer and didnt make it as refreshing as i wanted, maybe disapointed but nothign worth crying about.
