AI-generated sensory profile for Corsendonk Blanche

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—fresh orange peel and lemon zest—layered beneath a subtle spice character from coriander. Soft wheat malt provides a delicate grain sweetness that anchors the bouquet without demanding attention. The overall impression is refined and approachable rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and light, with the wheat malt establishing a soft, slightly creamy foundation. Mid-palate develops gentle spice and a whisper of orange zest that complements rather than dominates. Bitterness is minimal (11 IBU), allowing the fruity and herbal notes to persist without harshness; the finish remains clean and refreshingly dry.

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.
