Mighty Rascal

Tap to rate

◌ Aroma

Coriander and fresh orange zest dominate the nose, layered over soft white bread and a gentle yeasty undertone. The aromatic profile is clean and inviting, with subtle spice notes that emerge as the beer warms. No aggressive hop character; instead, a harmonious blend of grain sweetness and herbal-citrus complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with sweetness and wheat grain character, followed by a mid-palate that balances orange-citrus notes with a gentle spice warmth. Medium body carries flavors smoothly without heaviness; the 8% ABV presence adds depth without dominating. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the malt and adjunct spices to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering sweetness and a trace of spice warmth on the aftertaste. A gentle drying sensation emerges, characteristic of the Belgian yeast and wheat malt bill.

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.
