Brugge Brasserie White

Brewed by Brugge Brasserie
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Indianapolis, Indiana USA

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a pretty clear straw gold, with a small frothy white head. Smells of light whet esters, banana, with a heavy citrus presence. Pretty mild overall though. nothing special there. The taste is quite bland for my tastes. the wheat and banana characters are almost nonexistent, and its mostly funked out citrus. Tough to find a decent wit these days for me. Pretty poorly executed for the style in my opinion.

22 oz. bottle. Cloudy yellow body with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of coriander, lemon, grass and honey in addition to hints of wheat and lacquer. The flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is mostly spicy with a strong soapy taste along with off-putting tart astringency — a combination of coriander and iodine. Medium body and watery texture. Lively carbonation. I’ve had this on draft and it was much better. This bottle was borderline drain pour.

tap at the brewpub - Pours up a cloudy straw color with a one finger white head. It has a light citrus aroma. My initial impression upon drinking it is that it’s too watery. Warming it up helps a little, but it’s still too thin and watery. The citrus accented wheat malt flavor with mild spices is decent, but there needs to be more of it.

One of the funkier-farmhouse wits of the year. A general lactic tang surrounds this beer throughout, with very lemony, grassy and wheaty flavors coming through. Slight citrus and floral, not refreshing, per se, but definitely interesting and authentic.

On tap at Brugge Brasserier (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a hazy pale lemon color with thin white head. Aroma is wheat, coriander, hay/straw, some faint spice. Flavor is wheaty and slightly sweet with notes of honey, spice, and some fresh seafood funk. Generally light bodied with sweet and wheaty notes on finish.

Bottle thanks to G. Poured light urination yellow with nice big white head. Aroma is lemon and sour. Taste is citrus (lemon) sour/tart and a little bit of grassy hops. Texture is very light and easy to drink with i crisp finish. I dont really like sour beers but this wasnt too bad.

Bottle from stfun, thanks josh. Light hazy yellow in color, good head. Aroma is a little sour, lemon, and some spices. Taste is a tart, lemony, with some spices. Very light in texture and carbonation. Very easy to drink. I really enjoyed this beer due to its tartness, thanks josh for sending this one my way!

Bottle: Cloudy pale yellow with a very minimal head and lots of carbonation. Nose is very mild with notes of lemon zest, grass, mint leaves, light acetic wheat with some subtle coriander and other spices...a bit thin but not horribly. Flavor is all of the above with an added grassy tone. Decent enough and pretty refreshing.
