1664 Blanc

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze from suspended wheat proteins and yeast, characteristic of the witbier style. A dense, creamy white head forms and maintains robust lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation creates an inviting, lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft wheat grain character and bright citrus notes—particularly lemon and orange peel—balanced by gentle herbal coriander spice. A subtle yeasty undertone adds complexity without dominating. The Strisselspalt hops contribute a refined, floral sweetness rather than any aggressive hop intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a clean, grainy wheat sweetness that builds into fruity and citrus flavors mid-palate. Coriander and other noble spices provide gentle herbal complexity without harshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the beer's refreshing, crisp character to dominate over any sharp finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering citrus and light grain notes that fade quickly. A pleasant, refreshing aftertaste leaves the palate cleansed and ready for the next sip.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
