Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Slacker

Slacker presents a pale straw color with a hazy, cloudy body typical of the witbier style. A dense, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the suspension throughout, creating an inviting, vibrant presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from orange peel, backed by warm, peppery spice from coriander and grains of paradise. Soft wheat grain and a gentle herbal undertone round out the aromatic profile, with no aggressive hop character. A delicate yeast-derived fruitiness completes the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with the wheat base providing a silky texture and subtle, grainy sweetness. Mid-palate emphasizes the spiced citrus character—zesty orange and warm coriander notes dance across the palate without overwhelming. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the adjunct spices and citrus to dominate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the citrus and spice fading gradually into a dry, peppery conclusion. A subtle lingering warmth from the spices persists without becoming harsh.

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.
