Witte Parel

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow with a distinctive hazy, opaque character derived from the suspended yeast—a hallmark of the witbier style. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, leaving a light collar of lacing around the glass. Fine, consistent carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and coriander—both assertive and well-balanced—supported by a soft, wheaten grain backdrop. Subtle spice notes emerge as the beer warms, while the top-fermented yeast contributes a gentle fruity character without dominating. The overall profile is clean and inviting, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with coriander and orange zest providing immediate flavor definition. The mid-palate reveals soft wheat maltiness and a gentle fruity sweetness that avoids cloying; low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the spice and citrus to flourish without obstruction. The finish dries slightly, with a pleasant peppery spice lingering on the tongue.

◑ Finish

Medium-short finish with a dry, gently spiced aftertaste. The wheat and yeast characters fade gracefully, leaving a clean, refreshing impression that invites another sip.
