Unibroue Blanche de Chambly

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Chambly, Canada

Bottle. Pours with an average-sized white head, that lasts for a little while. Color is dark yellow, with cloudiness throughout and good lacing. Aroma is citrusy, as expected (orange especially), with light yeast. Medium body on the palate, with average carbonation and a slightly bitter finish. Tasty flavor with average duration, moderate acidity, and lightly bitter. Good price, would definitely drink again... one of the better Belgian whites I’ve had in a while.

Deep yellow, with orange. Medium white head, long lasting. Aroma of wheat malt, spices, orange. Dry, somewhat tangy malt flavor. Light spicing, good mix of rich malt, sour, and sweet. Light and refreshing. Dryish finish. Very nice wit. Light and clean but tasty.

341 mL Bottle. Pale cloudy orange body with a fizzy, fast-disappearing head that vanishes like a Houdini act. Aroma is wheat and grains, yeast, banana, pineapple, grapefruit, apricot, and cloves. Flavor is wheat and grains with a light note of celery leaf. Pineapple and grapefruit rind express in the aftertaste. The finish has a tartness to it. Points lost for lack of any head / lacing but looks can deceive.

Another ennjoyable beer from Unibroue, although I think that this might be the weakest beer from their repetoire or perhaps just the one I enjoyed the least. The beer from the 750ml bottle pours out cloudy orangeish-yellow color with a huge 3" head. I had to put the brakes on the pour as it was going to easily overflow my Maudite glass. Aromas are light fruity malts, orange zest, ginger, and corriander really show up nicely in the nose. Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, but not overpowering. Flavors are light wheat, corriander, citrus, but lots of Unibroue’s house yeast. Beer has a slight acidic bite to it. Overall, not bad.

Aroma is a faint yeast with some coriander, a little citrus zest as well. The color is a nice wheaty color, and large foamy head. The flavor is a nice wheaty, yeasty, and some nice spice and citrus. The feel is quite carbonated, and with a dry body.

Bottle in NZ. Pours a cloudy dark gold with a large frothy head. A surprisingly weak aroma, faint yeast and spice. Dry and wheaty palate, again surprisingly light on the flavour. Some peppery spice and yeast, light citrus. Quite carbonated. Disappointing for me.

Pours with a dark yellow which is pretty darn hazy. The hue sits below a medium sized white head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is of spices - lots of spices - coriander to be more specific. Lots of grain, and yeast in the nose as well. Some massage oil aroma in the beer as well - weird I know. Spicy/Watery Flavor - with a lot of citrus. Medium mouthfeel, with a good amount of carbonation.

pours dark yellow with a bubbly champagne head. aroma is is buttery and yeasty. flavor is heavy on the citrus, spices and doughiness. very tangy aftertaste, strong with orange flavor. a nice wheat beer with a lot more up front flavors that most wits.
