Whiplash
A witbier with a light, fruity character and a little bitterness, at 5.8% ABV and 18 IBU. Whiplash is named for how fast it goes down: you pour it back so hard you would break your neck. It comes from DAVO in Deventer, where every beer follows the 3-pint rule and has to stay in balance, whether witbier or Imperial Stout.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Whiplash
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
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.
