Tia Loca

Tap to rate

A German-Belgian wheat beer that joins two proud brewing traditions: fermented with Bavarian wheat yeast and lightly spiced in the Belgian way with orange peel and coriander. The brewery frames it as a trip through Europe on which you are lucky enough to hit both Germany and Belgium. From Beer Here, the Danish brewery founded in 2004 by Christian Skovdal Andersen.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tia Loca

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a fine collar with good lacing retention. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a gentle effervescence that sustains throughout the glass. A classic witbier appearance that catches light with its pale, translucent brilliance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent coriander and orange peel notes that define the Belgian wheat beer tradition, supported by soft, bready wheat character. Beneath these bright aromatics lies a subtle herbal complexity and yeasty complexity from the Bavarian wheat yeast, adding depth without overwhelming the citrus-spice forward profile. A refreshing, clean aroma that invites the palate.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with pronounced coriander and orange notes followed by a fuller wheat malt sweetness that balances the spice. Mid-palate reveals herbal notes and a gentle yeast-derived complexity, while the modest IBU (22) keeps bitterness restrained, allowing the wheat and spice to remain the focus. The finish is crisp and dry without harshness, with a light, clean character that refreshes.

◑ Finish

A short to medium finish with lingering orange and coriander notes that fade gracefully into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. The yeast character recedes, leaving only the essential citrus and spice memory.

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.
