Heineken International

Pale Lager·Netherlands·5.5% ABV·One of 340 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Heineken Witpils's citrusy and wheaty character. Heineken Witpils is an unfiltered lager that brings wheat beer character into the brand's pilsner base. Developed from the limited Mokum750 brew poured in Amsterdam cafés, it uses barley and wheat malt, Citra hops, coriander seed and lemon peel, fermented with the house A-yeast. It pours hazy gold with a dense, lasting head. The nose is floral with lemon and a hint of grapefruit; the palate is soft and round with gentle wheat sweetness, light coriander spice, citrus peel and a dry, fresh finish.
