Wit

Tap to rate

Spiced citrus and a yeast-driven flavor profile mark this Belgian-style witbier, reminiscent of warm summer afternoons. Curaçao orange peel and coriander go into the brew. At 5.0% it comes from Dancing Gnome in Pittsburgh, a brewery that opened its taproom in 2016 with hop-forward beers and has since widened to traditional styles from around the globe.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes and prominent coriander, backed by soft wheat and a subtle yeast character. Curaçao orange peel brings a candied-spice dimension that mingles with herbal and slightly peppery undertones, creating an inviting, complex bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with zesty orange and coriander flavors taking center stage across the palate. The yeast-driven character adds a soft, slightly phenolic warmth, while low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the spice and citrus to remain dominant. A light, clean wheat base supports the adjunct-forward profile without heaviness.

◑ Finish

Clean and crisp, with citrus and spice notes fading quickly to leave a dry, refreshing aftertaste. The finish is light and thirst-quenching, inviting another sip.

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.
