What nobler distinction could there be for this tasty wheat beer with its pleasant fruity flavour and rich foam than to bear the name of one our most illustrious forebears ? Blanche de Brabant, who lived in the 12th century, belonged to the French royal dynasty. Left to govern the country during the Seventh Crusade, and concerned both about the fate of the men who had gone to fight the infidel in the Holy Land and about the well-being of those who had stayed at home, among other measures she issued numerous edicts to encourage the cultivation of wheat. So it was that Blanche de Brabant was created, the Belgian wheat beer with added coriander seed and orange zest.

Dorada, nebulosa. Excelente espuma muy muy cremosa y abundante y de increíble duración. Aroma a levadura belga con notas especiadas, cilantro. Ligera en boca, algo aguada. Sin apenas gas ni amargor. Sabor a malta de trigo y levadura belga con notas de limón y sobre todo cilantro. Muy bebible pero algo floja.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il frumento. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza nuvolosa. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, frumento, agrumi, arancia, coriandolo e spezie.

Вполне неплохой Бланш. Отчасти не понимаю такого низкого рейтинга. Аромат приятный, травы и кориандр. Вкус слегка терпкий, сильно чувствуются цитрусы и кориандр. В послевкусие ощущается легкая фруктовая горчинка на языке, иногда она не совсем приятна. В целом ничего невероятного, но низкой оценки данное пиво точно не заслужило.

Servida en tulipa, color dorado claro, turbia, corona de espuma blanca de buena retención. Aroma a levadura, pan, coriandro, cierto toque cítrico y floral. En boca es suave, no mucho cuerpo, algo acuosa, puntito ácido, notas cítricas, algo herbal y afrutada. No siendo una cerveza con mucho cuerpo es bastante agradable y tiene su finura, muy fácil de beber.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

On tap at pizzeria icio&paola. Pale yellow color light haze short stable white head, no lacing.Aroma of citrus, wheat, grass, some coriander maybe. Reminds me of the earlier blanches I’ve had, 10+ years ago. Light body, average carbonation, smooth finish light tart taste. Unexpectedly herbal, but served too warm, this one should be iced. Not bad after all.
