1866 Blanche
Brasserie de Saint-Omer

Copenhagen 6/6 2023. 44 cl can from Netto, Lygten, Kbh. NV. Light blue can with a sketchy drawing of a French village

Pours unclear pale yellow with a big white head. Stable. Settles as thick uneven layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet and fruity odor on the verge of being sugary. Light citric notes. Sweet orange, white sugar, honey. Thin scent of citrus.

Light carbonation. Thin, watery, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is moderately intense with medium strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong sourness. Lingers shortly. Finish is sweetish and watery.

Saint-Omer writes on the can that they are “France’s No. 1 Independent Brewery”. That makes me seriously worried about No. 2 and 3.

440 ml can, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. ABV is 4.5%. Moderately hazy pale straw colour, moderate white head. Wheaty aroma with moderate notes of coriander seeds and orange peel. Citric and wheaty flavour, orange peel and moderate coriander, very moderate hops.
