With 30% wheat, this white beer is cloudy but not as much as other comparable white beers.
Fresh-tasting citrus flavours, with subtle hints of coriander and orange peel, Elfique Blanche is thirst-quenching.

On tap at Brasseries de Liege. Unclear pale golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, yeasty and light spicy nose. Sweetish malty, light yeasty, light wheaty, discreet spicy and fruity touch in the finish. Weak coriander, high carbonation.

Sample brewed @ Brasserie Simon Small, slightly yellowish head over fully hazy yellow beer, bit greenish sheen. Other grains, I would suggest spelt; honey, hint of lemon, honingbollen . Spicy, at first difficult to recognize actual spices. Again faintly honeyish, wheat. Some coriander appearing all the same, and its flavour gradually strenghtens warming up. Not very well bodied, wheatslickness, low carbonatioin. I was hoping for a corianderfree wit for a while. Oh well.

The witbier in this series, classically flavoured with curaçao and coriander seed; Vichy bottle from a Delhaize supermarket. Egg-white, medium thick and frothy, moussy head, gradually breaking and dissolving over a misty yellow-golden blonde robe with disparate sparkling. Aroma of dried lemon peel, cilantro (more leaf than seed in this case, actually), old cardboard, unripe green banana, straw bale, old dried out white bread, pear peel, lemonbalm from an old herbarium, minerals, hints of gypsum, white soap, honey, green apple and dust. Fruity onset, lemon-scented hand soap note mingled with impressions of green pear, unripe melon and green banana, sweetish but not sweet, with dim sourish undertone; medium fizz, clear wheaty slickness, soapiness and sourishness dominating under a bready pale malty side element, spiced up with obvious soapy coriander and zesty old citrus peel, remaining soft and gentle as a witbier ought to be, mildly hopped with floral and grassy notes in the end. Soapy and sourish wheat maintains the upper hand till the very end. Old-fashioned Hoegaarden epigone indeed - how many times do you still encounter that in these turbulent beer times? Faithful to the original, this almost tastes like Hoegaarden did a couple of decades ago, so obsolete as it may be, it does deliver what it promises. Witbier will never be my preferred beer style, but I have to admit that this one is relatively well-executed, even in adding absolutely nothing to the already existing (yet dwindling) pool of 'blanchekes'.

Flesje gekregen van Inoven, geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een bleekgeel licht troebel bier met een dun wit schuim. Het aroma is licht zurig. De smaak is zoet en een beetje citrus-achtig. Nasmaak is een beetje wrang.

Flesje gedronken met familie tijdens verjaardag. Bleek-geel licht troebel bier met matig schuim. Aroma is licht zurig. De smaak is zoet en een beetje citrus-achtig. Nasmaak is een beetje wrang.

Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of citrus, lots of citrus peel, lemon, coriander. Taste is tart, lemony, sourish. Infected?
