Blanche De Brooklyn, a traditional Belgian-style white beer, or biere blanche, is named after its striking pale color. Blanche de Brooklyn, formerly a seasonal product, is now available year-round. White beers are made with a traditional dose of coriander seed and Curacao orange peel added during the boil for extra snappy flavor. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver also adds his own secret selection of spices of Blanche de Brooklyn.

Bottle at the Funky 8, Brooklyn, NYC. Decent witbier. It’s very bright and fresh, although nothing about its character is particularly exciting.

Location: On tap at the Brewery, 7/18/09, I think I may have had this before, can't remember.
Aroma: Orange, lemon, coriander, banana, wheat
Appearance: Nice cloudy yellow typical look for a Belgian White
Flavor: Citrus-Fruity and sweet, light spiciness, solid flavor
Palate: Light to medium body, easily drinkable, a bit of creaminess, smooth
Overall Impression: Nice, solid brew. Not a lot of extra information to say about this one.
While I'm here, I will say the brewery was a cool place to grab a drink on a Saturday afternoon, and was particularly packed full of people enjoying 3PM beers.

Sweet, citrus and slight banana aroma. Flavor is about the same with a nice, spice flavor to it. Full, distinct taste to it.

Tap @ Halftime, 10oz bottle pour. Body is a macro yellow color, completely lucid body with a sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet with Belgian yeastiness and present spices of coriander and Curacao but well melded with the sweetness. Taste is white-bread bland with spiky/lively herbalness. A felt yet light body with a heavy-mineral water mouthfeel. Aftertaste is faint yeasty-water.

Hazy pale blond color. Spicy aroma, with some citrus fruits. Ordinary taste, then some residual sweetness, spicy. Refreshing but nothing special.

A hazy pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is wheaty combined with lots of lemon. The flavor is very fresh wheaty combined with notes of lemon adn lime, but the body is thin. Probably good on a hot summer day in the sun.

(On tap) As indicated by the "Blanche" tag this is a wheat by Belgian standards, therefore very pale in appearance with prominent touches of coriander and orange peel. A seasonal for the hotter months - and only on tap. Fresh and very fruity and a formidable thirstquencher. In a plastic mug at "Brooklyn Pig Fest" this beer may not have the most prominent appearance, but it doesn’t hide the fact, that this is an excellent Belgian Wheat which has beaten Hoegarden Wit in several competitions.
