Blanche du Paradis is a Belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander seeds and Curaçao orange peels, the spices traditionnally found in this classic style. Unfiltered and containing almost as much raw wheat as malted barley, it presents a veil of yeast and proteins giving this style its "Blanche" name. Round and light at the same time, it exhales fresh baked bread aromas, and reveals spices and citrus flavours, accompanied by subtle notes of acidity coming from the wheat.

Keg at BD Camden, 30/09/14. Clear pale golden with a moderate off white swirl and edgeing. Nose is straw, vanilla, citric peel, wheaten bread, spice, white pepper, lemon rind. Taste comprises vanilla essence, candied fruit tones, soft bread, spice, clove, lemon peel, yeast notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Very good offering for the style, I can see why this scores so highly, a well executed wit.

The beer is a hazy yellow, pretty pale, not even as dark as a banana. Puffy white head, lots of fine bubbles. Good lacing. The beer smells of rich bready grains, orange peel and coriander seed. It’s a doughy, wheaty beer, bright with grain character. Underlying musk gives it body and character. Perfect level of spicing, which accentuates the wheat flavor rather than getting in the way. Some light lemony notes. Mild floral hops. Tangerines and doughy bread. It’s all gentle and fresh. On point for the style. Feel is on the soft side. Very easy to drink. Light but round and full.

341ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellowish golden colour with small to average, frothy to macropore, rapidly diminishing, white head. Really nice Wit aroma, orange zest, coriander, hints of quince, a touch of chamomile. Taste is minimally tart wheaty, fruity, hints of lemon and orange, slightly perfumed, a touch of chamomile. Wonderfully balanced, delicate, gentle - very good.
