Blanche De Chambly
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a Rochefort goblet. Best before 05-04-12. A: A generous amount of substantial white head tops an brown-yellow beer. Although it glows when backlight, this lightly opaque beer just seems slightly dull in hue. S: Wheat? Light and lively, with a heavy yeastiness. Pleasant, but not a lot going on. T: A bit flat and disappointing. It tastes as a witbier should -- grainy yeasts with a touch of spice and a hint of citrus. Beyond that though...nothing special. Nothing special at all. The aftertaste is yeasty-dry and sticks around for a long time. At least it's pleasant. M: Tart, carbonated, and sometimes drying. Other times smooth and quenching. O: While I suppose Blanche de Chambly is a good representative of the witbier style, it is also my least favourite Unibroue so far. Lackluster and vaguely boring, but never unpleasant. Recommended if you are keen on the style, otherwise not one with which to bother.
