This style has become one of my favourites. One of the characteristics that make it so is the spiciness and this beer delivers a nice spicy kick to go along with the traditional flavours of a witbier including citrus. I had mine from the tap and came with a hazy, straw yellow color and generous head that thinned out as I drank it but kept a thin line throughout. Lacing was medium. Light and low carbonation. Good beer.

Brasseurs R.J. "Le Cheval Blanc Blanche"
@ Casse-Crepe Breton, Québec, QC on 2 Octobre 2014
$4.50 / bottle

Notes: I'm surely imagining that this is not as good as the beer that I used to drink at the brewpub, or which was imported in bottles to the United States so many years ago. (Ohhh, along with the Coup de Grisou those were some of my favorite beers of the time!). It's decent, I'll give it that. The appearance is right on, and you get the coriander in the aroma along with citrus, a slightly corny but still grainy maltiness (I'm not implying that corn is in use), and some floral and herbal character. The wheat and citrus peel and spice carries through into the flavor, and it's remarkably well-balanced, no issues there. Medium to medium-light in body with a median carbonation. Short, dry finish with some residual coriander spiciness and a light touch of orange. It certainly held its own against my crepe aux champignons et Suisse. An enjoyable and refreshing witbier.

Fresh out of fridge, poured into a weissbier vase:
L: Opaque goldenrod, virtually no lingering head.
S: Almost-too-sweet citrusy scent on the nose, with the wheatiness flying justy under the radar.
T: Welcoming wheaty taste, nothing too special as far as witbier goes.
F: Tends to linger in the mouth, but this isn't necessarily a negative.
O: I'd drink it again, on a hot-but-not-humid day while sitting outside on the porch. Otherwise, the citrusy nose doesn't fall into my usual preference.

Note: This beer becomes increasingly complex when allowed to warm a bit. The citrus is less insistent, and a slight spice flavor comes out to play.
