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.

Bottle, thx to Ole_R. It pours an unclear, golden body with a small, off-white head. Spices, pale malt and wheat in the aroma, with lemon in the background. Spices, pale malt, some sugar and a nice bitterness in the flavor. Medium body. Long finish with spices and fruityness, as well as some bitterness. A nice witbier. (080410)

At KBW in Vichte (B). A hazy pale yellow colored beer. It has foamy white head. The aroma is a little sour, with fruity sweet in it. Also some spice. The taste is little sour and sweet too. Fresh orange like sweet, with a little spices in the back. The beer has a long bitter aftertaste. A different kind a witbeer.

Botella. Nice orange colour with a big fairly well lalsting head. Aroma of wheat, some fruits and spices. Quite good a mouthfeel. The flavour is refreshing with fruits and wheat along with some yeast, spice and malt. Mild bitter finish.
