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.

First sample at the Unibroue beer tasting at Jungle Jims, featuring Rick Swarez from the brewery. This was an awesome beer tasting with a really great crowd, great breads and cheeses, and great speakers. The Blanche de Chambly was a perfect way to start the night with something light and refreshing to kickstart our tastebuds. It was hazy, pale gold with a gentle head and stunning shine. Very effervescent and champagnelike. Fun and lively. The aroma is fresh and spicy, citrussy and yeasty with sweet cloves, apples, pears, and a hint of phenolic bubblegum. The taste is enlivening, bright, cheerful, and very thirst quenching. Again, cloves, bananas, lemon zest, cinammon and nutmeg make their appearance. Well-rounded, medium-bodied and perfectly soft and silky on the palate, with a tickling effervescent tang. This is a perfect summertime refresher, and I enjoy pairing it with different cheeses and spicy seafood, which it takes the hot edge off of with ease. Nice.

Poured a hazy, very light yellow. The head was small and fast fading, leaving a film of white foam. The nose was strong with citrus and clove. The taste was full and slightly tart. Citrus and malt dominate up front with banana, spices, and hints of lemon coming throgh in the end. There is no hop bitterness at all that i can detect. The finish was slightly yeasty. This beer was a little over carbonated, but not so bad that it detracted from the flavor. It goes down smooth leaving a clovey aftertaste. A very interesting wit, fairly well represented of the style.

pours a cloudy dark yellow with a 11/2 finger fluffy white head. aroma is yeast and a little hops with wheat and lemon. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. has a nice creamy mouth-feel, and not bad of a wit. also as it warms i get a hint of possibly coriander.

Pour is medium golden with an off white head. Aroma is of fruity sweet. Flavor is definitely of belgian yeast with a fruity flavor. Real tastey. Kind of like Hoegaarden but not as good. Might buy again.
