Brasserie Flore Blanche Transalpine
Brasserie Flore Blanche Transalpine is a refreshing and classic Weissbier that captures the essence of a traditional German Hefeweizen. At a sessionable 4.3% ABV, it presents a vibrant interplay of yeast-driven aromatics, specifically highlighting fruity esters of ripe banana and crisp apple alongside spicy phenols reminiscent of clove and cracked black pepper. The grist, featuring a high proportion of malted wheat and Pilsner malt, provides a soft, doughy foundation that balances the expressive fermentation profile. This medium-light bodied wheat beer offers a silky, effervescent mouthfeel and a clean, dry finish, making it an exceptionally drinkable example of the style.
Appearance. Pale straw to deep gold (2–6 SRM). Features a very thick, moussy, and long-lasting white head with excellent lacing. Typically hazy with a soft sheen due to the presence of wheat proteins and suspended yeast.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity fermentation character. Prominent aromas of ripe banana and red apple esters are balanced by spicy clove and a hint of white pepper phenols. The malt profile is light but distinct, offering bready, doughy, and grainy wheat notes. Hop aroma is negligible to absent, with a faint herbal quality.
Taste. Initial impression is a soft, well-rounded sweetness from the wheat. Flavors of banana and clove are present in moderate strength, complemented by subtle apple notes and a peppery spice. The malt flavor is bready and grainy-sweet, supported by very low hop bitterness. The balance favors the yeast character, leading to a relatively dry and refreshing finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notably fluffy and silky texture. Carbonation is high and effervescent, providing a spritzy sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is absent given the low ABV, ensuring high drinkability without any astringency.
