Sumptuous dry-bodied white ale benefits from up-front orange tang, mid-range apricot splurge, and distant yellow grape esters. Milky sinew hovers near cavernous puffy ivory head, leaving clumps of lace along glass. Arising Belgian-styled tendencies include oaken herbal spicing and flower bud nosing.

BELL’S WINTER WHITE ALE
(LE CHEVAL BLANC) DEATH VALLEY WHITE BEER
In an all-too-frequent-for-Canada chintzy 11.5 ounce (‘stead of 12 oz.) bottle, typecast light-bodied yellow-hazed white ale reminiscent of finer European wheat beer. Lemony banana-clove-coriander setting and crystal-watered freshness remain subtle. Easygoing splendor will leave you craving for at least another .5 ounces.
(VAL DE SAMBRE) BLANCHE DE CHARLEROI WHITE ALE
Mild pale-hued foamy-headed Belgian with xrisp barley-wheat toasting, fresh citrus aromatics, and sour yellow-fruited tartness envelop sweet white wine midst. Hop bitterness never overwhelms pleasant daisy-dandelion hints at buttery finish. Soft soda-like fizz gives it crossover appeal for lightweights.
