Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Witte Parel 0,0%

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a fine haze characteristic of the witbier style. A modest white head forms and holds with gentle persistence, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is present but restrained, appropriate for an alcohol-free expression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—predominantly lemon zest—layered over soft wheat grain and a subtle fruity undertone. A gentle spice character emerges, characteristic of the Belgian witbier tradition, without aggressive phenolics. The overall effect is clean and inviting, with no alcohol warmth to complicate the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with immediate citrus definition balanced by mild, bready malt sweetness. The mid-palate remains light and clean, allowing wheat and subtle fruity notes to develop without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, providing structure rather than assertiveness, with a dry, slightly mineral finish on the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a faint grain character. No warming or cloying sweetness—the mouthfeel remains clean and quenching.

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.
