A Belgian-inspired, unfiltered wheat beer brewed with the traditional coriander and Curaçao orange peel. A delicate and refreshing bouquet of citrus and spice floats atop toasted bread aromas, accompanied by a subtle touch of acidity provided by the wheat.

Surprisingly good! From a can I grabbed from IGA. Great creamy mouthfeel and good taste, just a little brassy, with yeast, orange, spice.

Poured into a weizen glass. Pours a lightly hazy, light to medium golden amber with a two finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of wheat malt, coriander, orange and a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is wheat and bready malt, clove, coriander, orange and banana. Lingering clove, mild orange and wheat in the finish. Medium bodied with nice moderate creaminess, great mouth feel. This is a good example of how a silky mouth feel often seems to boost the experience of flavor for me. The base beer is pretty much a faithful witbier recipe although with some orange flavoring, but the wheat and spicing seem to pop with the creamy taste. The orange is deftly, but assertively handled and enhanced the flavor. Great residual spicing in the finish. I'm a fan of this one. My first Dieu du Ciel in a can; if that gets more of their products out West, I'm sold.

Blanche du Paradis is slighty hazy and more or less a polished yellow amber in color. Head is off white and lasting.
Smells up front of yeast and wheat, giving the aroma an overall bready quality. Cloves are replaced by a harder to identify aroma of toasted spices. Buried under the toasted spice I notice hints of citrus, little bits of ripe orange juice, maybe. All this combines to give me something reminiscent of damp earth. Not a bunch, just enough to add depth to the beer's overall nose.
Blanche du Paradise is medium bodied and very smooth and rounded up front. Toasted spice leads into flavors of wheat, yeast, and homemade bread. All the while, toasted spice gives the flavor backbone, leading flavors easily across my tongue. Fruit esters come through in the center, tasting of ripe banana and hints of orange. Finish is short and dry.
I think what I like most is the usual clove flavor being replaced with a generic sort of toasted spice. Orange juice gives just a hint of juiciness, making the beer more refreshing than it otherwise might have been. Plus, it has all the other flavors you'd want out of this style of beer.

Montreal July 2018. Bottled in late May so two months old. Hazy straw yellow with a smallish head. Bready malt nose with a hint of fruit. Wheaty body with some spicy pepper notes. Light carbonation. Age adversely impacted rating I would say.

Single bottle - not fresh but frankly held up well. Pours a slightly cloudy golden trying to be orange tinged - nice whitish head. Aroma of banana, peppery yeast, citrus, bready. Taste of the spicy yeast, banana, clove, some bubblegum but with a mildly sharp/bitey finish. Mouthfeel is full and creamy into that yeasty spicy bitter end. Really good.
