Brasserie Lefebvre Blanche de Bruxelles Mannekin Pis Witbier at 4.5% ABV ($5.24 from Crowfoot Liquor Okotoks)
Pours slightly hazy, pale straw with a short finger of loose white head quickly diminishing to a thin skim and minimal lacing. Nose is banana, bubblegum, coriander, citrus, floral hops. Taste is similar, with a little peppercorn. Light body, low sustained carbonation, and an off-dry, slightly spicy bitter finish.
Pretty middle-of-the-road wit. Definite Belgian character, but fairly muted and bland. Bought it in a Brasserie Lefebvre variety 8-pack (1/2 Mètre de Bière) that was probably not worth the price at almost $42 plus tax and deposit. Seven more to go…
