Blanche de Bruxelles
In the old farm breweries it was the Witteke, and this white beer still gets its natural cloudiness from 40 % wheat. Coriander and dried orange peel go in during the boil, the beer stays unfiltered and pours cloudy under a white head, and it carries a citrus note. The brewing method, with hot water added gradually, takes a long time. 4.5 % ABV, 18 IBU.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blanche de Bruxelles
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.
