Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Liliko'i Kepolo

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. Bright carbonation rises steadily, creating a lively visual impression typical of well-conditioned Belgian whites. The light body is evident in the thin, delicate lacing that traces the glass.

◌ Aroma

Passion fruit dominates the nose with immediate tropical character, layered atop the signature Belgian white spice profile. Coriander and subtle citrus notes weave through, supported by gentle wheat grain aromatics. The overall effect is bright and inviting, with the fruit never overshadowing the witbier's traditional herbal complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with sharp, clean tropical fruit sweetness that transitions into the classic witbier spice—coriander and a whisper of orange peel. A crisp, dry mouthfeel develops mid-palate, driven by bright acidity and the low bitterness (15 IBU) that frames rather than dominates. Wheat provides soft body and a slightly creamy texture that balances the fruit's acidity.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and refreshing, with passion fruit gradually receding into a light, peppery spice note. A clean, dry aftertaste lingers briefly without astringency or residual sweetness.

Serve at 5–8°C

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

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.
