Bacho Blanche

Tap to rate

A Belgian-style witbier reworked with Côte d'Azur ingredients — wheat and barley malt, coriander seed, and lemons from the brewery's own garden. Fine-hazed, low-bitter, 4.5%. The clove is quiet, the citrus does the work. Summer beer in the strict sense of the phrase.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bacho Blanche

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow, fine haze throughout the glass from suspended yeast and grain proteins. A delicate white head forms on the pour with modest retention and gentle lacing. Carbonation is bright and steady, creating a soft, pillowed collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemon zest and orange peel, backed by subtle wheat malt sweetness and a whisper of coriander seed spice. Yeast contributes a faint bready, floral note without the pronounced clove typical of classic Witbier. The overall impression is garden-fresh and restrained.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and refreshing, with wheat malt providing a creamy mouthfeel and light bready backbone. Mid-palate is dominated by citrus—lemon and orange—that cuts cleanly across the tongue without aggressive bitterness. Coriander adds gentle spice depth, while yeast character remains in the background. Finish is dry and clean.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, with lingering lemon and a faint saline minerality. No astringency or harsh edges; the beer fades gracefully.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
