Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Maneblusser Wit

◎ Appearance

A pale golden-blonde hue with fine turbidity from suspended yeast, evoking the appearance of summer grain fields as intended. The head forms a dense, white foam that maintains moderate retention, with delicate lacing clinging to the glass as you drink. Bright carbonation animates the body without aggression, creating a lively, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean wheat grain and soft fruity notes—subtle stone fruit and a whisper of citrus zest. Coriander spice adds an herbal, slightly floral dimension without dominating. A light, yeasty undertone from the top fermentation rounds out the profile, lending freshness without any harsh phenolic edge.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and refreshing, with a pleasant grain sweetness and mild fruity character that mirrors the aroma. The palate feels crisp and light-bodied, with coriander and citrus notes providing gentle spice and brightness. Bitterness remains restrained at 13 IBU, allowing the delicate malt and adjunct flavors to lead; the finish stays clean and dry without astringency.

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.
