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.

A hazy pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is wheaty combined with lots of lemon. The flavor is very fresh wheaty combined with notes of lemon adn lime, but the body is thin. Probably good on a hot summer day in the sun.

(On tap) As indicated by the "Blanche" tag this is a wheat by Belgian standards, therefore very pale in appearance with prominent touches of coriander and orange peel. A seasonal for the hotter months - and only on tap. Fresh and very fruity and a formidable thirstquencher. In a plastic mug at "Brooklyn Pig Fest" this beer may not have the most prominent appearance, but it doesn’t hide the fact, that this is an excellent Belgian Wheat which has beaten Hoegarden Wit in several competitions.

Draught at DBF 2005. Hazy pale yellow coloured with a white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of citrus and bananas and notes of cariander and pepper. Spicy flavour with lots of citrus. Interesting, but not one of my favorites.

hazy pale yellow, dense creamy white head, lots of drippy lace, big spicy sweet orange aroma, creamy body, spicy orange flavor, nice sweetness, the spicyness adds a bitter edge to balance the sweetness and keep it under control,

I had this at the release party a few years ago and it was then, and still is, one of the best of style. Garrett Oliver is a master when it comes to authentically producing classic styles.

Hazy pale blond color. Spicy aroma, with some citrus fruits. Ordinary taste, then some residual sweetness, spicy. Refreshing but nothing special.
