Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)

Best wit outside of that beautiful country we call Belgium. Perfectly balanced hops, sweetness, and herbs.

Only one who makes a better White Beer is Hoegaarden!

This beer is a witbier or "white" beer by style. It is a Belgian beer style that is brewed with a portion of unmalted wheat, and is usually spiced with orange peel and corriander. Blanche de Brooklyn is not bottled at the moment, so this beer can only be found on draught at good beer bars where Brooklyn beers are sold. Blanche de Brooklyn pour to a very cloudy, opaque, pale golden color with a bright white head, and a moderate carbonation. The nose on this beer is wonderful, peppery aromas of corriander marry with zesty orange aromas. The palate is tart and refreshing, with lots of good wheaty malt flavors. The body is lean, and this beer is very drinkable. This beer finishes with more notes of corriander, and zesty, cirtric orange flavors. This is a wonderful summer time beer. The unmalted wheat in this beer makes it slightly tart, and very thirst quenching. Witbier goes wonderful with lighter fare and desert. Blanche de Brooklyn would make the perfect foil to a Waldorf salad, or apple pie. Seek this beer out if you can find it, it is one of the best domestic examples of the style on the market today.

A darn fine witbier. Smooth and refreshing with loads of spice and citrus with a nice chunk of banana flavor to finish it off. A really enjoyable wit, kudos to Brooklyn on this one.

I had this on tap at d.b.a. in Manhattan, and then again at the Brooklyn Brewery taproom, and I must say that I am most impressed. Light and pleasant with a distinct lemon presence in the aroma and flavor. Sweet, fizzy and mild. A fine exaple of a witbier.

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.

This gentle, well-rounded witbier won’t overwhelm you with cloves, exhibiting a pleasant lemon, orange rind, ginger, and cloves flavor. Refreshing and effervescent, exhuding a subdued, mellow clove, citrus, spice, and coriander nose. Prototypical cloudy yellow body adds to this beer’s near perfectly drinkable character.
