◐ Taste

The palate is soft and airy, opening with light grain and wheat sweetness balanced by the herbal-citric edge of coriander and bitter orange.

Bitterness remains minimal, allowing the delicate spice and fruit notes to persist without assertiveness.

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.
