◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and light, showcasing a clean wheat base with gentle citrus notes. Mid-palate reveals balanced spice and herbal qualities with subtle banana undertones, all supported by a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows the adjunct flavors to shine without any harsh edges.

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.
