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.

330 ml bottle. White, fully lasting head. Foggy orangey-golden body. Soft spicy wheat aroma, sweet fruity notes. Yeasty and spicy flavor, sweet malty with a note of sweet oranges. Filling. Ends up dry and fruity. I really like this one.

330ml bottle. Cloudy orange body with a huge creamy white head. Aroma is sweetish spicy and fruity with yeast. Flavor is fruity, yeasty with a sweet malt profile. Good balanced with a hint of alcohol and a long finish. As always a nice and sweet brew from the Rocks.

Pours with a rocky, white head and a hazy gold body. Concorde grapes, clove and mary jay in the aroma. Oaky and spicey taste, lively mouthfeel.

Unimpressive Wit. Pours a golden color with some honey like highlights and a small white head. Nose is a bit oxidized, with some wheat and a bit of spice. Taste is watery and spicy. Just ok.

This was very strange indeed. A light and smooth wheat beer with the consistency of a double. It was a bit skunky smelling, but settled on the palate. Very strong in cereal flavors as well.

Bottle. Yeasty nose, spicy-sour. Very light citrus. Swirly thin head sits atop a cloudy orange beer. Full-bodied, thick and lightly tingling from carbonation. Well-rounded coriander with more lemon than orange. Acidic finish punctuated by coriander.

Great nose of musk, apricot, capsaicin and honey. Pours cloudy orange with little head. Flavour follows the noe somewhat, with an added element of hospital swab. Finish is long, dry and refreshing. A complex. interesting and winning wheat.

The best witbier IMP. Hazy apperance and spicy smell. Refreshing taste with a nice fizzy Co2. Sweet spicy aroma yeast, mild hops and orange. Heavier body due to grainbill., and you can fell the oats in the beer. Nice beer - a most have in the frigo.
