Abbaye des Rocs Blanche des Honnelles

Today's offering is not one you can order in a hurry, this is a Belgian Style wheat Beer




Appearance:

Cloudy bronze with nice lasting wheat head

Aroma:

Like over ripe citrus fruit, Satsuma's, come to my mind with a pepperiness in the background

Taste:

Creamy malt with the oats really coming through, followed by some peppery hops and some citrus fruitiness also coming through with a faint hint of the alcohol content. The finish is not strong but long, with the lovely creamy malt and that citrus fruitiness, with just enough peppery hops to balance.

Overall:

Very different from the German wheats not a hint of bananas to be found the oat that they are said to use really make this different than other Belgium wheat and nice drink although I think they are you to drink it to cold at 4-6C I say 8-10 is better.

8.0/10
