Blanchette De Lorrain
Brasserie Artisanale Millevertus De Toernich

As with all Millevertus beers, this one has a ton of sediment at the bottom. It's hard to avoid getting it into the glass, even with a slow pour. Bring on that funky stuff, white boy...

The head is made of tiny bubbles and is about a half-inch thick, retaining very well. The look is a dirty brownish-yellow with chunks, floaters, and a supremely cloudy haze.

Aroma is spicy, yeasty, wheaty and a bit citrusy. Goody.

Flavor is dirty/fruity (lemon, peach, pear) with a hellish yeastiness exerting itself, and an overall sweeter malt personality than you'll get in most fruit or witbiers (this strikes me as somewhere between those two categories). Sourness makes itself known long after the sip, and this is not as much a deterrent as it is an aid, giving another layer of depth to this wild brew.

Mouthfeel is thick, chewy, with a puckery dryness in the finish. It works for some of the other Millevertus stuff, but would be nice if this one was a little thinner.

Millevertus beers are wild, untamed brews, and that's actually a positive trait. It doesn't get much more real than this. I love it, but wouldn't want to have it every day, which cuts down the drinkability a little. And for those who can't take it unrefined and unfiltered, you might want to stay away.

BB dec 2006. Nice white head and a pale golden beercollor with tons of haze. Nose is great fruity from mirabelles giving sour cherrie and bretty nose with it. Great beersmell that's very funky artisenale and musty. Taste is sour but very fresh and juicy but not sweet. Impressive fruitbeer this realy is with bretty and slightly bitter ending of taste. Quiet high carbonisation makes this one even fresher and one of the easiest great drinking sour beers I know of.
