Unibroue Blanche de Chambly

Aroma: “Coriander with a hint of coconut, nice floral notes, and sweet citrus character produce a nose that fades quickly. Light wheat sweetness. The strong coriander character is sharper and less herbal than is typical.”

Flavor: “Nice level of acidity to carbonic bite. Simple flavors of slightly musty coriander and honey wheat sweetness with very little hop flavor. Finish is a bit cloying instead of crisp.”

Overall: “Not-too-sweet finish makes this an easy-drinking, refreshing wit. Body does not hold up to strong coriander flavor. The individual pieces are there, but the overall structure doesn’t seem coherent. Would make a great beurre blanc.”
