Beer / Wine / Whisky of the Month
杜巴克娜慕尔白啤酒(1瓶750毫升) Inviting, refreshing aroma and flavor; fruitiness from a very traditional yeast strain; and smooth rich body with a bit of thirst-quenching acidity in the finish. The glowing, golden hazy color of Blanche de Namur comes from the use of wheat and from bottling with live brewer's yeast. Best served with red meat or game; intense cheeses, including aged cheeses; full-flavored shellfish like mussels. Can pair with intensely-seasoned dishes. CN¥98.00 Cool off with this refreshing white beer in a large 750ml bottle. Blanche de Namur is made from barley malt, unmalted wheat, hops, and the classic witbier spices: coriander and bitter orange peel. It also has a touch of brewer's licorice. Hopping levels are fairly low to allow the spices to shine through; the yeast strain is traditional, and Blanche de Namur is bottle-conditioned. "Cloudy, smooth and mellow, the Blanche de Namur is a very high-quality wheatbeer. From the first sip, you will feel all its roundness and its delicacy that make it an outstanding wheatbeer. Its qualities and the brewery’s know-how earned it the honour of being named the best wheatbeer in the world (2009)." Description Appearance : Blond, cloudy and milky colour (colloidal turbidity when cold): the cloudiness is created when the beer is cold but can disappear when the beer warms up or is kept in the cold for too long a time. Serving suggestions Game, red meats, highly-seasoned white meats. 4.5% ABV “The Best Wheatbeer in the World”: “The Best Wheatbeer in Europe”: “The Best Wheatbeer in the World”: Blanche of Namur was the daughter of John, Count of Namur. It is told that Magnus IV Eriksson, King of Sweden and Norway, was attracted by the young princess’s beauty, when he was travelling to France in search of a prestigious wife. The princess embarked for Scandinavia in August 1335 and was never to see the banks of the Meuse again. She would become Queen of Norway, Sweden and Scania.
In memory of her beauty, her sweetness and her delicacy, the Brasserie Du Bocq dedicated a wheatbeer to her: The “Blanche de Namur”.

Each is made from the highest quality casks, to create more complexity. The whiskies are combined according to each recipe and returned to casks for marrying up to 24 months before bottling.
