De Proef La Grande Blanche. The Big White.
Final brew of the Belg-a-Rama #3 sextet, a double witbier (7.5%) from the Professor, of Lochristi, Belgium.
De Proef La Grande Blanche, double white beer.
Cloudy, golden appearance, puffy, snowy-white head, lasts long, leaves lace.
Aroma: gorgeous stuff, floral, perfumey, peppery spice, citrus and orange. Light and lovely.
Taste: slides effortlessly on the palate with a sweet, honey-ish component, plenty of fruit, with light spices in the background. Lean wheat malt, tasty as heck and refreshing to boot. Not too terribly complex, but neither is it supposed to be. Spice character comes through more and more, and the flavor generally beefs up a bit, near the end.
Thoroughly delicious.
Stronger than a light wheat ale is supposed to be, and it creeps in towards the end of this 12 ounce pour from the tap. Don't know how I'd feel after a bomber of this.
It drinks down way too easy.
