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.

An old favorite of mine... Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow. Lovely sweetness, with aromas of yeast, flowoers, wheat, spices, and some honey. Medium bodied. Slightly bitter finish.

Large white head. Floral doughy nose. Honey hazey color. Complex taste comes in cheesey then caramel sprinkled here and there. There is some effervescence that tickles your tongue.

Bottle: Nice hazy copper color, light creamy white head, light lacing. Nose of bubblegum and bright yeasty citrus. The flavor has a nice body, mild sweetness and a nice citrusy note. The finish is tangy, beautiful witbier.

Bottle. Bright-orange yellow. Floral, cirtic lemon/orange qualities in aroma and appearance. Hoppy and crisp, effrvescent, lasting mouthfeel. Nicely balanced.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Absolutely cracking for a Wit. Dark yellow, almost browny orange. Aroma does contain spice - coriander, curacao, bit of pepper, also some alcohol and uncharacteristic hop. Richer mouthfeel than most of the style, and considerably stronger flavour. Not overly carbonated. Finishes with a little hop kick. Splendid.

Bottled, sampled at Delirium Café, Göteborg. Cloudy dark golden. Rich choriander nose. Smooth palate feel, with fruity notes plus choriander. Pretty average Witbier.
