Commercial Description:
Brewed only once a year to keep you warm during the cold winter months, the Blanche Neige (« Snow white ») isn’t your typical wheat beer. Firstly, the level of alochol is surprising and is perceived rapidly both in the bouquet and in the mouth. The spices come through immediately, giving very little room for the usual wheat beer aromas (coriander and curaçao). Cinnamon and clove dominate and the flavours are generously well-rounded thanks no doubt to residual sugars. It is therefore a very sweet beer that is best appreciated slowly.

On Tap, 8% alcohol winter 2004 batch. Cloudy light golden body with a small white head. Huge aroma of spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, coriander), very complex. Cloves and banana remind a good german weizen, but such spices complexity is uncommon outside Belgium. This is a decadent wit that makes you wonder how all those flavours can blend together. Good creamy velvety body. Decadent and flavorful altogether, an imperial wit in which the alcohol remain unnopticeable despite being 8%.

Banana and cinnamon bread and creamy yogourt for this strong witbier...Citrus trees covered by a milky, clovey dew...The 2004 and 2006 are much better than the first year’s and have evolved into another of DDC’s excellent, unique witbier creations...

Creamy, pale and bright body. Enormous, enveloping aroma of cinnamon and cloves and caramel. Very sweet, apple and mince pie flavors, soft and lovely to the tongue. Clean and quick finish that stays with your head and heart long after it has left your tongue. Another wonder-beer from the magician.

Big sweet, spiced aroma. Apple pie in a glass. Cloudy white body with thick white head. Easy drinking, sweet banana flavour with just enough clove to balance. This is right on. Nice, thick, chewey mouthfeel. On tap.

Draught. At Dieu du Ciel. Pale clear gold pour with a small white head. Aroma was spicy, fruity and lightly yeasty - like a pungent saison, very fragrant and clover-sweet. The taste was apple, alcohol, spice and sweet, sweet malt - good, warming. My note on mouthfeel: "alc! - sugary ... 3" - had a fairly long, moderately boozy sweet finish.

Tap. 8% .Hot spicy, Belgian ale aroma. Grassy, flowery meadow behind. Pleasant rich aroma. Sunset gold with medium fine head. Medium bodied, sweet honey, meadow flavours, gently spiced. Clean and drinkable strong ale. Be aware!

Draught at Dieu du Ciel! Pours a hazy golden-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Fruity aroma along with spices and mild hops. Flavour’s sweet and yeasty with a good amount of spices, a bit of maple syrup and a light bitter finish. Medium bodied. This is very tasty stuff, I really enjoyed it.

Glass at the pub. Amber. Lasting tin white head. Cinamon and cloves dominate the aroma. Creamy spice body. Aromatic spice flavour. Strong spice is not overpowering but you cannot hide from it.
