Nitwit
Lime and orange lead this creamy Witbier, with a touch of tartness and a soft finish that leaves citrus and apple behind. At 6.0% and 12 IBU, Nitwit stays fresh, fruity and easy to drink. Its name casts a carefree dunderhead, lightheaded, nonchalant and lost in ignorance, from the Amsterdam brewery De Eeuwige Jeugd.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Nitwit
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
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.
