Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blanche
◎ Appearance
Blanche presents a hazy, pale straw-gold colour that catches the light with an inviting translucence. A pillowy white head forms at the pour and lingers persistently, leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. The lively carbonation manifests as fine, sustained bubbles throughout the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose is zesty and aromatic, opening with bright citrus peel that recalls lemon and orange rind. Distinctive coriander spice mingles with delicate floral notes—a hallmark of the witbier tradition—creating an inviting and complex bouquet. The wheat base adds a soft, slightly creamy undertone without dominating the composition.
◐ Taste
Entry is light-bodied and refreshing, with a soft, creamy wheat character that rounds the palate pleasantly. Mid-palate reveals subtle white pepper spice and continued citrus notes, while low bitterness (15 IBU) keeps the beer approachable and thirst-quenching. The carbonation enhances the overall liveliness without sharpness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and gently dry, allowing a lingering hint of orange zest and white pepper to fade gradually. No astringency or harshness intrudes; the aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Blanche
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
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.
