Commercial Description:
Blanche du Paradis is a Belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander seeds and Curaçao orange peels, the spices traditionnally found in this classic style. Unfiltered and containing almost as much raw wheat as malted barley, it presents a veil of yeast and proteins giving this style its "Blanche" name. Round and light at the same time, it exhales fresh baked bread aromas, and reveals spices and citrus flavours, accompanied by subtle notes of acidity coming from the wheat.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a thick foamy white head. Very good retention and good lacing. Aroma is coriander, orange peel, grains of paradise, dough and lemon. Flavor is spices (coriander, grains of paradise), fruits (orange peel, lemon) dough and yeast. Medium body and fizzy carbonation.

Bottle courtesy of savvy1982. Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells of grains of paradise, coriander, ginger, grassy, sweet citrus. Tastes of crisp wheat, pepper, spice, citrus, velvety mouthfeel. Excellent!

Bottle from Dépanneur Rahman. Pours a hazy light yellow with a medium to large clean white head. Light bubblegum, yeast, touch of citrus. Medium bodied, tangy, light, and spicy. Finishes with a light crisp bitterness. Nice wit.

Pours a hazy white/yellow with a rocky, sticky white head. Aroma is of Belgian yeast, spice and citrus... Just like a good wit should be. Coriander, bread, lemon, orange, wheat, and a hint of clove on the nose. Tastes light, crisp and complex. Loads of lemon, coriander, clove, orange peel, ginger, banana, and bready Belgian yeast. Mouth feel is pretty good. This is an excellent Belgian Wit!

341 mL bottle. Hazy orange-copper with a nice, sticky white head. Aroma is pleasant, not overwhelming; tangerine, a little spice. Flavour is, again, pleasant but rather subtle. A little more spice and less orange than the aroma. Slightly bitter finish. Perfect carbonation. I’d love to try this one on tap.

More flavourful and livelier mouthfeel than the style’s template, Hoegaaden, but not as good as Blanche de Chambly (to use another Canadian-brewed wit as an example). I picked up a pineapple quality in the aroma and flavour that didn’t seem to fit. It gave way to some nice spicy notes in the middle and some orangey, zesty citrus and crisp mouthfeel redeemed it in the end.

Bottle. Pours a lovey hazy yellow, the color of unfiltered lemon juice. Thin put persistent white head with respectable lacing. Aroma is of lemon, coriander, marshmallow, banana, cinnamon, yeast. Palate is creamy and mouthcoating, with notes of lemon rind, oranges, banana, wheat, yeast and coriander. Palate is surprisingly crisp despite feeling rich and mouthcoating. Very good.
