Blanche de Charleroi

Brewed by Brasserie Val De Sambre
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Gozée, Belgium

Sweet perfumey lemon meringue liberally peppered with coriander aroma, including the pastry. Huge dose of coriander, orange peel, caramel, oats. Cherry and melon notes discernible. Really slick and chunky m/f, mouth tanging with orange sweetness and tangible perfume. Lacy and persistent. Tripel Karmeliet splashes. No real acidity or dryness. Biscuit, oats, banana and papery sherbet. Peppery milk. The sort of brazen but still enigmatic spicing that first got me hooked. Unsubtle but natural tasting. Underrated. A guilty pleasure, a huge cut above industrial supermarket Wits sweetened with chemicals…

25cl, from De Bierloods Adegem, not complex, yet refreshing, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice Belgian White

Ridiculously high, very fine & dense white head over hazy beer, the very image of lemon squash. Initially overpowering coriander nose, fake citrus aroma. Virtually neutral taste, bland to the utmost, with some faint reminiscences to lemon, near without any acidity, but for the CO². And some coriander... Rather fizzy; wheat slickness, light body. Witbier at its narrowest - uninteresting from all points of view.

Bottle: Poured a hazy white with light yellow color, the head is a fluffy white. Aroma is citrus and wheat. Taste is light citrus and has that wheat , very unimpressive witbier.

Bottle. Unclear light yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, wheat, moderate yeasty, citrus, lemon. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration, and a dry finish. (Citrus / lemon shin bitter). Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (151007)

clear yellow blond body with white head spicy aroma light bitter taste with a acidic short finich

Bottle, Hazy blond coloured with almost no carbonation and an average white head. Little yeasty, herby aroma with some citrus and coriander touches. Medium to full palate. Finish is light herby with some bitter touches. not bad.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow, creamy head. Citric wheat malt flavour. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel and a light touch of coriander. Refreshening but not offering anything out of the ordinary.
