Blanche

After a relatively quick bike ride through Arlington and Belmont, who doesn't crave greasy food and beer? With no room at the bar, we had no choice but to grab a table. Not a bad option, considering that both the NFL Kickoff and the Red Sox-Yankees game were on!

Beer: Blanche de Chambly
ABV: 5.00%
Home: Chambly, Quebec, Canada

The Blanche de Chambly takes the top spot for Belgian whites, in my opinion. Pours a hazy gold color with a huge head giving off aromas that are very fruity and a little sour. Abundant fruit flavors featuring tangy orange. Refreshing, well-balanced, and highly drinkable! Great session beer, which is a plus because of the seemingly bottomless 25.4 oz bottle. A side note: The bottle label depicts Fort Chambly in honor of the volunteer militiamen who died defending Lower Canada (against the US!) in the War of 1812. And with that, I've completed the Unibroue category - They sure know how to brew some fine beers up there! As far as I'm concerned, these Canadian beers are free to invade the US any time.
