Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blanche de Bruxelles
◎ Appearance
Blanche de Bruxelles presents a distinctly hazy, pale straw appearance that is characteristic of traditional witbiers. A thick, creamy white head forms and persists beautifully, crowned by fine, effervescent carbonation that creates a visually inviting presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by bright citrus and orange peel notes, complemented by distinctive coriander spice and subtle herbal undertones. Belgian yeast character adds a soft floral quality, creating a complex yet refreshing aromatic profile that is quintessentially witbier.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a smooth, light citrus entry balanced by wheat grain sweetness and subtle herbal spice from coriander. The mid-palate remains creamy and refreshing with minimal bitterness (13 IBU), allowing the wheat and yeast character to shine through without overwhelming the senses.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and crisp with a gentle herbal fade, leaving behind a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip. The low bitterness ensures the finish remains approachable and highly drinkable.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of 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.
