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.

Tight foamy white head left a good cover on a cloudy vivid gold body. Belgian yeast, spices & citrus aroma. Medium bodied, well carbonated & smooth on the back. Citrus, yeast, zest, spices & chalk tastes with a long tangy finish. Deece.

Thuis in de tuin uit een flesje. Bleek, geel, wits schuim. Een matig witbier, sterker: ik zou het niet als witbier herkend hebben. Scherpe alcoholsmaak, niet de citrus frisheid van witbier.

Strong grapes aroma, just a bit yeasty and chalky. Herbal, yeasty flavor with curacao. Just a bit of banana. The aroma is good, the flavor disappoints because the herbal yeastiness dominates.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold, hazy, with minimal white foam. Aroma is very yeasty and fruity. Body is average with moderate carbonation. Taste is sweet but moderated with some tartness. Finish is fairly short.
