Blanche des Bruxelles

Another witbier, this one more authentic, known as Mannenken Pis in it's homeland, called Blanche des Bruxelles (the white of Brussels) here in the United States. We may produce and drink beer that looks and tastes like piss, but we will not allow the word on a label here in our country. Not missing, however, is that peeing boy who is so celebrated in Brussels. Now, the notes, from May, 2008, the first time I got my hands on a bottle.


There's the pissing boy of Manneken Pis on the label.

Hazy straw yellow, smallish white head.

Airy, spicy, lovely nose...fresh and perfumey. Coriander in there, and notes of lemon, herbs, dandelions, fresh mown grass.

Nice texture, citric flavor, zesty, spicy, and very refreshing. Great play on the palate, tingles and tantalizes, shuffles, bucks and wings, boogies and breakdances up and down.

Plentiful flavor, much delight on the tongue. Good witbier!
