Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Spring

◎ Appearance

Spring presents a pale, hazy golden hue characteristic of the witbier style, with bright clarity that allows light to pass through. A fine, white head forms readily and clings to the glass with modest persistence, displaying delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears lively and appropriate for the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus and orange peel, immediately evoking the beer's seasonal intent. Beneath these top notes lies a pronounced coriander spice and gentle floral character, mingling with soft wheat grain notes that provide grounding. The overall impression is fresh, herbaceous, and inviting without sharp alcohol presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus fruit and orange notes that carry through the mid-palate with clarity and definition. Coriander and subtle spice contribute gentle complexity, while the local wheat provides a soft, slightly grainy backbone. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the herbal and fruit character to dominate, finishing 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.
