De tarwe creëert heerlijke aroma’s die doen denken aan vers geoogste granen en gebakken brood. Bij een eerste slok merk je hoe deze aroma’s gedragen worden door een zachte volheid. Het bier heeft een verrassende frisheid dankzij de typische rinsheid van de tarwe en de citrustonen.
Santé Holy White heeft alles wat je een mooi Belgisch witbier verwacht.

Witbier in this tourist-aimed brand of Bruges ales, bottle from a local Proxy Delhaize in Ghent. Egg-white, cobweb-lacing, irregularly shaped, rocky, stable head, misty straw-golden blonde with peachy tinge. Weak aroma, some bread crust, unripe banana, potato mash gone spoiled and sour, cooked turnip, sorrel leaf, green apple, grass. Subtly sourish, fruity onset, unripe melon and green apple notes with some vague banana perhaps, spritzy and very minerally carbonation; lean, sweetish bready and cereally malt middle, very faintly ‘beschuit’-like sweetishness on top, with clear wheat-sourish edges and mild floral hop bitterishness in the end, accompanied by a bit of dried lemon peel but no ‘wave’ of the classic coriander seed you usually get in witbier, even if it is certainly present. Some yeasty breadiness pleasantly lingers. Feels like a plain and boring Belgian blonde which just happens to also contain wheat – but lacking in spiciness, ‘fraîcheur’ and elegance for a ‘true’ witbier in 20th-century Hoegaarden vein. Very bland and simplistic even for its intended style, but free of off-flavours or other technical errors so deserving of a mediocre score.
