Commercial Description:
Blanche De Brooklyn, a traditional Belgian-style white beer, or biere blanche, is named after its striking pale color. Blanche de Brooklyn, formerly a seasonal product, is now available year-round. White beers are made with a traditional dose of coriander seed and Curacao orange peel added during the boil for extra snappy flavor. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver also adds his own secret selection of spices of Blanche de Brooklyn.

Art of Beer Festival 2004, poured by Garrett Oliver: Hazy yellow color with a nice white head. Light malts, cloves and coriander in the aroma, full bodied for the style, lightly acidic with a dry ending. The beer was very bright and fresh.

(Draught) Pours a thin, white head and a cloudy, lemon juice body. Nice bouquet nose - bubblegum and bananas. Rather tart. weak and acidic finish.

Draft at TAP NY. Hazy straw color with white head. Aroma is sweet and reminiscent of Windex. Carbonated, sweet, bubble gum flavor.

Cloudy yellow with a very fine particled white head. Aroma is banana and pepper with some coriander. The flavor is much like the aroma but some off sour flavors develop giving the beer a too astringent finish for my tastes. Light watery body. Based on other reviews it looks my sample was not so good.

This tastes almost identical to their brooklyner weiss - lots of lemon and coriander in the aroma and flavor - cloudy golden appearance - wheat comes through in the finish - a decent wit.

Brooklyn Brewery continues to impress. On tap at some overpriced steakhouse in Midtown Manhattan. Nice hazy, vibrant gold. Good banana, citrus and wheat aroma. Solid fruity flavor, somewhat spicey. The orange slice did OK, when I added it for the second half of a 22-oz serving. Sturdy mouthfeel. A very drinkable and refereshing brew.
