Gin Barrel Wit
Floral on the nose with juniper notes, and occasional hints of bourbon, all riding on a light body. A Belgian-style witbier of American two-row and wheat malt, aged in freshly emptied gin barrels that previously held bourbon. At 5.2% ABV it appears as a limited release, brewed with Austin's mineral-rich, carbon-filtered water.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gin Barrel Wit
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.
Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
