Amber in colour, which after all is the traditional appearance of historical white beers, it has a higher volume of alcohol (6%) than the white beers we are familiar with. Having been created locally (1991), this white beer has long since burst out beyond the banks of the Grande and Petite Honnelle rivers whose name it proudly bears. Yet, Blanche des Honnelles steers clear of the well-trodden paths taken by some beers. Its taste is surprising and in no way comparable to the other beverages of the same type that are currently on the market. While relatively discreet on the nose, its initial flavour yields to an intensely dry bitterness on a peppery background. There is no acidity in this three-cereal white beer (barley, wheat, oats). Its taste is invigorating.
In 2019 the new 1979 label was introduced to commemorate the 40th jubilee of the brewery.

Aroma of wheat, yeast, fruits, spicy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light bitter finish. Definitely a superior Witbear, more of an aroma than usual for the style.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal frumento. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frumento, frutta secca e agrumi.

Вполне добротный Бельгийский бланш. Аромат апельсиновой цедры и кориандра. Пена полностью отсутствует, цвет бледно-желтый. Вкус к сожалению не яркий, цитрусовый с четкой кислинкой. Чувствуется кориандр, лимон и немного меда. Безумно вкусное фруктовое послевкусие. В общем вполне неплохой Бланш.

En tulipa, color ámbar anaranjado, muy turbia, espuma blanca poco duradera. En nariz notas de levadura, cítricos, especias, paja... En boca tiene cuerpo ligero, bastante carbonatada, algo pungente, primer trago ligeramente cítrico, con marcadas notas de levadura, cereal, pan, pimienta. Final seco, algo astringente, ligeramente ácido y especiado/picante. Tiene su punto interesante, aunque no me fascina.
