Hop Blanc is a heavenly White IPA. Local wheat and Belgian yeast give this beer a soft mouthfeel, while Centennial, Simcoe and Citra hops provide a bright rush of tropical and citrus flavors up front. This beer is the cherry, angelic cousin of the more sinister Hop Noir.

A hazy, light yellow beer, a head is medium and white. The nose is quite mild but still great. Lychee, gooseberries and some generic tropical fruits. Fresh and fruitful aroma. Taste is frutiful, gooseberries, also some tropical fruits. Then fruitful is disappreared and spicyness is more dominating, some sourness of wheat. The end is quite dry with spices and peppers. Medium bodied, fresh, easy, nice. Interesting combination, mild aromatic nuancees in the beginning, then tough spicyness. Fresh and tastefull, I like this beer.

330ml bottle from Alko

Bottled 05/27/14 - Pours clear yellowish golden with a smooth white head. Aroma of citric hops, wheaty notes, yeast, pine and grass. Taste is yeasty, stuffy and wheaty with some spices, pine, citrus and earthy notes. Finish is earthy, yeasty and wheaty with some hints of citrus and earthiness. Quite yeasty and stuffy for a wheat IPA, feels more like a hefeweizen.

35,5 cl bottle @ home, BBE 27.05.2014
Aroma is hoppy with tropical fruits and some mango. Flavour has gluey tones, mango, tropical fruits and some caramel. Better than I expected, although the gluey tones try to ruin the show.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - bottled 27/05/14, from Alko, 20140905) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, coriander and soap. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, coriander, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, spicy, and bitter. A rather weird brew but a bad one.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit and citrus... definitely smells like White IPA, so pretty on point with style. Taste is similarly fruity. Lightly bitter. The commercial description is on point by saying this got a soft mouthfeel. Not bad.

12oz bottle from Georgio’s, Billerica, MA. A slightly hazy amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of Belgian yeast; soft grainy mouthfeel with a sharply citrus taste and some tropical fruit; before a dry finish. An interesting blend of styles, that come together well in this example.

Pours hazy light gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy sheets. Coconut, lemon, and twinkie aromas. Soft with sour twinkie upfront turning to earthy sour tropical fruit and yeast in the lasting finish.

Draft at Beer Run. Pours a hazy straw color with a thin beige head. Average head retention. Aroma of intense floral notes, banana, spice, citrus. The taste is pale wheat, spice, floral notes, herbal hops, bubblegum. Medium bodied, average carbonation, lingering spice. Solid, but strongly Belgian and seemed more like a wit than a White IPA.
