Blanc

Denmark·American Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

A French-inspired wheat beer with a light, fresh character: fine notes of lime and lemon give it a gentle freshness and a balanced taste. Unfiltered, it pours slightly hazy under a dense, creamy head. Barley, wheat and oat malts form the body of this organic beer, which Skands, founded in 2003, brews in Brøndby.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blanc

◎ Appearance

Blanc pours a pale straw yellow with pronounced haze throughout the body, characteristic of its unfiltered nature. A dense, creamy head forms at the pour and persists with fine retention, leaving soft lacing on the glass. The cloudiness reveals the suspended yeast and grain matter that define its rustic presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lime and lemon dominate—layered over a soft wheat and oat malt foundation. Gentle cereal sweetness emerges from the organic grain bill, while a light, clean fermentation character supports without imposing. No aggressive hop presence; the overall impression is fresh and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and gently malty, with the wheat character forming the backbone. Mid-palate expands to reveal the citrus brightness and a subtle fruity quality, while the low IBU (18) keeps bitterness restrained and balancing. The oat malt contributes smoothness and a creamy mouthfeel that carries through to the finish.
