Amsterdams Wit

Tap to rate

A Belgian-style witbier from Amsterdam soil, top-fermented, with citrusy flavour and aroma from coriander seed, orange peel and lemon peel and a floral note from Loral hops added in the whirlpool. Plenty of oats and wheat make it hazy with a soft mouthfeel, and only a small dose of bittering hops keeps it low in bitterness. 5% ABV, 14 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Amsterdams Wit

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with pronounced haze from suspended oat and wheat proteins, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. A generous, creamy white head builds quickly and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is moderate and elegant, producing fine bubbles that rise steadily through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lemon peel and orange zest dominate, layered with warm spice from coriander seed that lends a gentle, rounded character. A soft floral backdrop from Loral hops emerges in the background, adding refinement without sharpness. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh edges or excessive phenolic bite.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with the oats and wheat delivering soft, pillowy mouthfeel and subtle breadiness. Mid-palate unfolds with citrus flavors that echo the aroma, balanced by gentle coriander warmth and a whisper of floral complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the grain sweetness and spice to remain in the foreground; the finish stays clean without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and gently fading, with lingering citrus and a faint coriander echo. Refreshing and uncluttered, it invites another sip without leaving a sticky or overly sweet aftertaste.

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.
