◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent wheat and banana esters typical of Belgian yeast fermentation, complemented by distinctive spice notes. Orange peel and coriander aromatics provide a bright, citrusy character that frames the classic clove and spice undertones beautifully. The overall bouquet is refreshing and approachable, balancing traditional witbier spicing with subtle Italian craft sensibilities.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat notes and a creamy mouthfeel that leads into pronounced banana and citrus flavors. Mid-palate reveals well-integrated spice layers—coriander and clove—with a gentle sweetness that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The low IBU (12) ensures these delicate flavors remain the focus, with a light, refreshing character throughout.

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.
