Alexander Keith's Premium White Ale

Tap to rate

An unfiltered wheat ale in the Belgian manner, cloudy and pale with a tall white head. Orange and coriander set the tone, backed by a soft general spiciness and a mild citrus freshness. The wheat gives a smooth, slightly bready base while the body stays lean. Tasters describe the flavours as delicate rather than intense, and the finish as crisp and quick.

◌ Aroma

Orange zest and coriander lead the nose, creating a bright, herbal quality. Beneath these spice-driven notes lies a soft, wheaten grain character with subtle bread-like undertones. The overall impression is delicate and refreshing rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, slightly bready sweetness from the wheat. Mid-palate reveals gentle spice layering and a mild citrus brightness that complements the delicate malt foundation. Bitterness remains understated at 15 IBU, allowing the grain and adjunct character to remain in the foreground.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and quick-fading, with no lingering sweetness. A light citrus note trails into a clean, dry aftertaste that refreshes rather than lingers.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Alexander Keith's Premium White Ale

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Witbier glass
Recommended for this style

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.
