beer_name: Mort Subite Blanche
text: The colour is apricot-pale orange and cloudy. The minimal foam is white and built of relatively large bubbles. The smell resembles of sparkling lemonade: Sweet with a clear flavour of citrus fruits and peach. The carbonation is potent with rather big bubbles. Quite fit for the style, I think. The first taste that meets the drinker is a rather bitter aroma of marzipan and apricot brandy. Then, a complex taste of sweet almonds, dry cherries, peaches, bitter orange and some yeast emerges. The bitterness is very subtle, but it is present somewhere in there. The aftertaste is slowly decreasing, leaving a fine flavour of apricot. According to the staff at Akkurat (the fine beer bar in Stockholm, Sweden), this beer is strictly speaking only sold at a Belgian caf, but a special arrangement made this exclusive guest appearance in Sweden possible. They also explained this beer as like Hoegaarden White, but based on a Lambic instead of Witbier. The result was quite different but very attractive.
