Bouteille 33cl, BB 06/2013. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme est fruité, agrumes avec un bouquet amer dominant laissant une petite place à ce côté épicé de coriandre et de citronné. Palais est malté moyen, note de froment-grains suivi de ce profil typique citronné tirant ici plus sur le citrique. Pointe d’épice de coriandre et soupçon de pelure pour une bière restant banale. Fini conserve pas mal d’amertume, sec et ce côté citronné citrique qui devient vite trop présent.

33cl Bottle: best before 02/2012. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru badged stemmed tulip @ home during a random tasting evening on 16 Nov 2012. Golden looking brew, slight haze with a small white head on top. The nose was all about Belgian yeasts and semi sweet citrusy notes: the taste followed along the same lines and when the usual witbier spicy flavours arrived in the mouth they seemed to be stronger and better than normal. I really enjoyed this beer and I don’t class this style as a favourite of mine. Good body depth for the style and all in all a fine brew.

330ml Bottle - Hazy golden with a white head. Hops, lemon and ginger in the aroma. Refreshing taste with hoppy and soapy notes with some ginger noticeable in the finish. A perfect thirst quencher.

Drunk at the beautiful yard of the brewery. Very pale hazy yellow white beer, white head. Aroma of spices, some malt, citrus. Sweetish flavour, fruity, coriander and citrus. Quite thin body. Finish rather dry. Light and drinkable, this beer won’t offend anyone, but it’s rather hard to take a liking for it too.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Bellevaux Blanche (by Brasserie de Bellevaux):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 3/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.4/5
9/08/2011 33cl bottle @ Erwin's place - BB: 01/2011 (2011-372) Thanks (?) to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Note: we only noticed afterwards the beer had expired. This one calls for a rerating, but as I read reviews with the same remarks, it'll stand for now. I still need to come across the first non expired bottle.
Cloudy orange to beige beer, small off-white head, unstable. Aroma: lots of yeast, some spices, bit of citrus, but mainly yeast. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: very sour start, citrus, vinegar, some spices. Beer has clearly gone bad. Calls for a review.

Bottle. It’s a hazy, yellowish white beer with a dense, two-finger white head leaving lacings. Citrus, coriander seeds and leaves, pale malts mash and hints of pineapples on the nose. The flavor has a bit too sweet fruityness, with coriander leaves and some bitterness. Thinish and quite dry on the palate, and tad heavy on the carbonation. Well, a drinkable beer it is, but certainly not my kind of witbier. 110502
