Witte Vrouwen

Brouwerij De Leckere
Netherlands·Witbier
Tap to rate

A lightly hazy, golden half-weizen that joins witbier freshness with weizen softness: wheat, honey and citrus on the nose, a soft malty body and a creamy mouthfeel, finishing tart, malty and spicy. The name recalls the medieval Wittevrouwen convent, whose nuns wore white habits and whose grounds are now a residential district.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Witte Vrouwen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a light haze that speaks to the wheat-forward grain bill and unfiltered character. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is gentle and even, creating a softly effervescent visual impression.

pale goldenlightly hazyfine lacinggentle carbonation

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct wheat and honey notes, immediately welcoming and approachable. Citrus notes—particularly lemon and orange zest—emerge alongside subtle spice, likely from the choice of yeast strain. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, without aggressive hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty, with the wheat providing a gentle, grainy foundation. Honey sweetness rounds the mid-palate, balanced by a building tartness that prevents cloying. A mild spice note surfaces in the middle register, adding complexity to the otherwise smooth, creamy body.

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.
