Oh, and xjiefx: Blanche de Chambly is awesome. Also good, which I just found for the first time this weekend, is the Belgian Style Wit from Mill St. Brewery in Toronto. I did a little side-by-side with Blanche de Chambly last night, and the Wit is more citrusy and overall a little stronger flavour. You might want to check it out if they have it in Quebec.
