Unibroue Blanche de Chambly

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

i tried this at a beer tasting on 05/17/08. all i can say is that i was completely blown away at how good this was.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep, slightly hazy gold with deep gold highlights and a thin, almost-soapy, white head. The aroma is herbal and spicy with notes of wild flower honey and chamomile. The flavor starts spicy and floral with a chamomile and orange blossom honey. There is a funky twang, too, from sugary barley malts and fruity esters. By mid-palate the chamomile and spice notes combine with subtle notes of oxidation (wet cardboard) to give impressions of citrus-scented dish soap. The finish has a decent bitterness from bitter orange peel and an earthy hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with a level of carbonation that feels almost spritzy at first but quickly flattens out a bit. Overall, a very interesting white beer with some herbal and estery characters that aren’t typically found in the style.

bottle, thanks to robinvboyer. I really like beers like this. Aroma is yeast. Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice foamy head. Good sediment in bottom of bottle. Flavor is yeasty and creamy. No real hops are evident. Very nice beer. thanks robin!!!!

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Greenisch yellow colour. Week but nice citrus aroma. Light bitter ordinary witt flavor. Short finish. Watery palate. Boring witt.

A nice hazy golden pour with a thick foamy white head. Wheat, yeast, citrus and banana in the aroma, with a good bit of allspice. Slightly sweet and fruity flavor. Malty and dry finish. Good.

Pours a hazy gold color with a thick, foamy pearly white head. Smells pretty sweet, sticky, and fruity, with a light wheat presence and a good dose of orange peel. Pretty heavily carbonated with that Unibroue yeast flavor, mixed with orange citrus, mild spices, and wheat characters. Pretty refreshing brew on a hot day, but perhaps a bit overcarbonated. Has some pretty good flavor, but I think tends to be more of a Belgian ale that witbier. The wheat presence was overmatched by the Belgian yeast presence in my opinion.

Poured from 12oz bottle an orangy blonde with large creamy white head. Aromas of citrusy corriander, wheat, and maybe a little banana. Flavor is citrus, corriander, malt sweetness, soft banana and clove, and a little yeasty tartness. There is plenty of spice in this one with a nice carbonation zing that is very refreshing. This is a good warm weather and food beer.

The beer pours A hazy pale yellow with a thin white head that leaves very fast the nose is strait Belgium with a lot of citrus notes mixed with coriander. The nose and the flavor is are one and the same however the taste is much lighter then I thought it would be. It is a well done wit but nothing very special.
