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.

My favorite of the three I tried at Citi Field, this one was available at the Frites stand under the name Blanche de Queens. Light golden/blonde in color, slightly hazy. Medium head. Aroma of citrus, some spice, mild yeast, a touch of bubblegum. Taste is citrus, a good deal of wheat, some spice, and a nice belgian yeast character. This was a very dry beer, the yeast and citrus did give it a nice light perceived sweetness. Finishes with lingering spice, and some lingering bready/earthy yeast. Body was light, very easy drinking.

It’s only available via plastic cup at Citi Field. <a href="http://www.ceetar.com/optimisticmetsfan De Queens It was excellent still, given that. Great taste, not too heavy, appropriate for a ballpark.

On tap at The Thirsty Monk, Asheville. Nice witbier aroma. Light with lemon/orange notes and mild wheat. Sweet with a bit of funk. Cloudy golden yellow with very little head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with wheat and mild citrus peel, a bit of bubblegum. Light crisp acidity and bitter in the finish. Fairly thin, but clean after.

Growler bottled sample from shigadeyo. Pours hazy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Heavy clove and banana aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium balanced sweet flavor with a medium citrus sweet finish of an average duration. My expectations where met with a hefe style brew.
