Blanche De Chambly
My pour produced a massive head. I think I'll take it easier next time. Very good head retention. Hazy straw gold in color. Nice looking beer, especially with the impressive head billowing high above the beer. Smell is sweet with a strong phenolic character. Spicy clove, banana, grapfruit, and orange peel are also apparent. The Unibroue mouthfeel is present; thick and gently tingly. The spice and phenols hit the tongue right off, followed by a punch of wheat and muted fruit flavors that linger into the aftertaste. This wasn't as fruity as I would have guessed. The wheat character is pretty strong, but I should expect that it would be. The spice flavors are enough that I wouldn't drink more than one or two 12oz. bottles. This certainly isn't Unibroue's best offering, and it is not as complex as some of the other whites out ther. Despite that, it still has an authentic Belgian feel to it, and I would never turn one down.
