Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wit a Minute

◎ Appearance

Wit a Minute presents as a pale, hazy golden brew, true to the witbier tradition. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. A modest white head forms and dissipates steadily, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright orange citrus and candied peel, followed by subtle banana esters typical of Belgian yeast fermentation. Warm spice notes—coriander and perhaps a whisper of clove—emerge beneath, while the wheat malt contributes a gentle grain sweetness that anchors the composition.

◐ Taste

On the palate, orange zest leads the entry, complemented by soft wheat body and a touch of banana sweetness. The mid-palate remains crisp and clean, with low bitterness from noble hops providing gentle restraint rather than aggression. A light, slightly dry quality keeps the beer from cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is zesty and refreshing, with lingering orange peel character and a dry, clean aftertaste. The 15 IBU give a subtle, peppery bite that fades quickly, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.

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.
