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.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, brass colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy and slightly wheaty aroma, hints of coriander. Taste is sweet-ish wheaty, spicy, minimally fruity, hints of coriander, orange zest. Compact, integrated, a bit heavy for a Wit.

Clear medium golden colour, small fizzy white head, mostly diminishing, minimal lacing. Shy malty aroma, light fruits, caramel, yeast. Kind of flat taste, medium sweet and light bitter, malty, wheaty spicy notes. Sweetbitter finish, medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, lacks freshness and wheat-character.

Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, shared with Anke and Pieter.
Pours hazy yellow with a small, lasting, foamy, white head. The aroma contains wheat, barley, coriander, lemon peel, orange and hops. It tastes light to medium spicy bitter and light citric sour into the (rather short) spicy finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Better than your average Witbier, for sure, but not something I would keep in my cellar by the dozen.

0,33 flaske fra de alltid like vennlige hos Belgisk Bryg, på hytta en lørdagskveld i sep-17: lett uklar gylden med ok skum. Deilig, mild citrusaroma med hint av krydder. Halvtørr, elegant smak med citrusmarmelade, mynte og et halvt pepperkorn i avslutningen. Rund fylde og alt for lett å helle innenfor snippen.
