Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Bira 91 White if you want a lighter, crisper witbier that won't sit heavy,
Blanche if you want something with slightly more wheat character and grip.
Both clock in at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, so the choice really comes down to mouthfeel preference. Bira 91 skews toward brightness and drinkability; Blanche feels a touch more substantial despite the lower proof. Neither will overpower you—they're both session-friendly.

Bira 91 White
Bira 91 White hits clean and dry, with that classic witbier citrus-coriander thing but dialed back. The 4.7% ABV gives it just enough backbone to feel present without weight. You get a whisper of orange peel and a herbal finish that doesn't linger—it's the kind of beer that disappears fast because you keep reaching for another sip.
Blanche
Blanche has a softer front end but a sturdier mid-palate. There's more wheaty texture here, a slight milky creaminess that Bira 91 doesn't quite match. The spice notes are gentler, almost delicate, and the finish has a subtle grip that suggests the brewers built this one to stand up a bit longer on your palate.
