Blanche De Bruxelles 4Pk

Blanche De Bruxelles 4Pk is a Belgian-style witbier brewed at 4.5% ABV by Brasserie Lefèbvre, sold here as a four-pack. Named Belgium’s Best Belgian Style Witbier at the 2016 World Beer Awards, this unfiltered wheat beer stands out for its locally sourced coriander and bottle refermentation, delivering a complexity that belies its sessionable strength.Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Quenast, Belgium  |  Style: Belgian Witbier  |  Brewery: Brasserie Lefèbvre SA (est. 1876)Production & HeritageBrasserie Lefèbvre has been brewing in Quenast, just south of Brussels, since 1876 — making it one of Belgium’s enduring family-owned breweries. Blanche De Bruxelles is brewed with a 40% soft wheat grain bill, left unfiltered, and then bottled with yeast and brewing sugar for a secondary refermentation that builds natural carbonation and added depth. A notable sourcing detail: the brewery obtains 100% of its coriander seeds from CultivAé, an agro-ecological cooperative farmer they have supported for years, ensuring traceability and quality in a key ingredient that defines the witbier style.Tasting NotesAroma: Immediate clementine and tangy orange zest greet the nose, followed by subtle coriander spice and a gentle floral, yeasty character. The spiced notes are present but unobtrusive, allowing the citrus to lead.Taste: The entry is soft and smooth, with a light sweetness that quickly gives way to lemon rind, orange peel, and a pleasing apple note at mid-palate. The body is medium-to-light with lively carbonation, keeping everything crisp and well-balanced. A dry, spicy quality from the coriander emerges as the beer opens up.Finish: Quite drying with a lingering citrus sweetness that extends longer than expected for a beer at this weight. The yeast character and subtle spice fade gradually, leaving a clean, refreshing conclusion.How to Drink Blanche De BruxellesPour into a tulip glass or wide-mouthed goblet to release the aromatic citrus and spice — swirl gently to wake up the yeast sediment from bottle refermentation. Serve chilled between 4–6°C (39–43°F) for optimal freshness. A classic Belgian Wit & Orange garnish — a half-moon orange slice on the rim — accentuates the natural citrus character. For a beer cocktail, try a Wit Shandy by adding fresh lemonade, which amplifies the lemon rind quality; a Belgian Radler mixed with grapefruit juice for a brunch-worthy pour; or a Witbier Michelada with lime, hot sauce, and a salted rim, where the wheat body and spice hold up against bold flavors.Best For
