Blanche de Namur Witbier

Blanche de Namur Witbier. Brasserie du Bocq.
4.5 % ABV. 11 IBU. Purnode, Namur, Belgium.
"The World's Best Wheat Beer", says the label.

Clouded, golden, slim white head.

In the nose: citrus and spice. Orange and coriander. Usual suspects.

In the mouth. Wheat and smooth. Light bodied, easy-drinking. Big citrus flavor, minor hops, tasty wheat malt basis. Delicious stuff. A rewarding and refreshing glass of ale.

This is my first beer from this brewery. I'd love to get my hands on more.

"Cloudy, smooth and mellow, the Blanche de Namur is a very high-quality wheatbeer. From the first sip, you will feel all its roundness and its delicacy that make it an outstanding wheatbeer. 


I've been assured that the Namur of this
beer has nothing whatsoever to do
with this Namor.
Its qualities and the brewery’s know-how earned it the honour of being named the best wheatbeer in the world (2009)."
