Une bière sur « lie » naturellement trouble. Elaborée à base de blé malté pour vous offrir une excellente tenue de mousse; une saveur unique - épicée et légèrement acidulée - avec une pointe d’amertume et d’agrumes.

Au Brasseur “ Blanche De L’Ill”
€3,50/,25cl on tap at the brewery on 19 September 2021
Look: Hazy gold body beneath a short head of white foam. Good head retention and very good lacing that leaves splashes rising up from the surface.
Smell: Wheat, spice/phenolic, and clove.
Taste: Wheaty malt, spicy/cedar-like woodiness, orange, citrus pith, and phenolic. A stiff bitterness runs through it, balancing it and leading to a dry finish with woody spiciness and a plastic-like phenolic note lingering.
Overall: Interesting and enjoyable.

Had on tap at Au Brasseur Strasbourg. Like all of their beers on tap, no ABV was listed. Because I had the beer during Happy Hour, this was served in an enormous tankard.
Pours a cloudy honey yellow with a thick head. This is an impressive beer with a lovely hue, and I could hardly wait to drink it.
The nose is pretty weak with faint aromas of honey, lemon, and wheat.
The beer is light in the mouth with slight hop and wheat flavors, as well as flavors of Belgian yeasts.
This is not a complex beer - one might even say one dimensional - but it was incredibly drinkable, refreshing, well made, and went down very easily. I am assuming there is a low ABV, only because I felt to after effects from this large quantity of beer and there was no boozy flavor whatsoever.
If you're looking for a complex wit, this isn't for you. But I can say this is one of the more enjoyable wits I've had, for it really does what it sets out to do very, very well.
