Bavik Super Wit

Tap to rate

Fruity and thirst-quenching, with spicy notes of coriander and orange zest. Both are ground and added just before the end of the brewing process, which gives this Belgian witbier extra punch and intensity. Top-fermented, cloudy and smooth, 5.0% ABV, from the De Brabandere family brewery in Bavikhove.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bavik Super Wit

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque body characteristic of the witbier style. A generous white head forms readily and clings to the glass with good persistence. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, lending a soft, approachable visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent coriander and orange zest, applied late in the boil to preserve their bright, spicy intensity. Beneath these botanicals lies a soft fruity undertone—stone fruit and subtle banana notes from the top fermentation. Wheat contributes a gentle, bready backdrop without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with coriander and orange peel driving the flavor from the outset. A light, refreshing fruitiness carries through the mid-palate, balanced by the soft wheat base and minimal bitterness (15 IBU). The overall impression is thirst-quenching and smooth, with no harsh edges or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with spice and citrus notes lingering briefly. A sense of refreshment persists without any cloying sweetness or residual grain character.

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.
