Witz

Tap to rate

Straw-blonde and hazy under a white, creamy head, this wheat beer leans on the freshness of wheat and the roundness of oats. The nose is very floral, reminiscent of white fruit-tree blossom, with a light lemony note and green-currant fruitiness. Bitterness stays very low, and a slight, refreshing acidity rounds it off at 4.0 % ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Witz

◎ Appearance

Witz presents a straw-blonde hue with pronounced haziness characteristic of the witbier style. A white, creamy head crowns the pour with stable retention and fine lacing. The suspended yeast and wheat proteins create an inviting, soft cloudiness that speaks to its unfiltered nature.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by delicate floral notes reminiscent of white fruit-tree blossom, creating an elegant and refined aromatic foundation. Bright citrus—particularly lemon—mingles with subtle green-currant fruitiness, while the wheat and oat bill contribute a gentle, grainy undertone. The overall impression is fresh and garden-like, with no harsh or aggressive elements.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, with the oats delivering a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel that belies the beer's modest 4% ABV. Wheat and subtle spice notes develop through the mid-palate, supported by a whisper of citrus acidity. Bitterness remains restrained at just 15 IBU, allowing the delicate fruit and floral character to shine without interference.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a gentle acidity that cleanses the palate and invites another sip. A light, lingering floral note fades gracefully into a dry, clean aftertaste.

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.
