La Barberie Blanche au Miel de Bleuets (Paillasson)

Brewed by La Barberie
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Québec City, Canada

On tap at Vices & Versa, Montréal. Nice hazy blond body topped with a thin white foamy head. Good malty aroma with floral and hoppy hints. Taste is well balanced. Tiny notes of blueberries, and a decent bitter/dry finish.

On tap at Vices at Versa in the company of tiggmtl. Clean, sweet nose...clear pale amber...very clean, sweet flavor, light herbal accompaniment, light finishing hops...the berries don’t really appear until fairly warm, but help open things up nicely late.

Flowery blueberry, banana and mild wheat aromas. Slightly hazy blonde with decent white head that recedes to ring. Wheat flavour is dominant with blueberry coming to the fore in the finish. Smooth palate. More of a blonde wheat than a blanche but very enjoyable. On tap at Vices et Versa.

(Draught) Sampled at Vices et Versa in Montreal. Highly carbonated and clear. Strong unrippened bananas. Mild blueberries appear in the taste along with mild hops. Not much here though...

A problematic witbier that offers very little in terms of cleanliness, blueberries or balance. The phenolics were way too high.

Yellow beer with a light malty nose. Sweet honey taste with tart blueberries. Light bodied and honest.

Potent flowery, bitter honey with earthrise and crunchy malt in the back...A little lemon in the nose, hidden under the blueberry honey...Creamy body for a wit while remaining quaffable...
