◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced spice notes—coriander seed dominates, complemented by subtle wheat grain undertones. A light citrus character emerges beneath, with a clean, dry finish to the bouquet that suggests restrained fermentation character.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied for its strength, with a crisp palate entry that showcases the wheat malt structure. Coriander spice develops mid-palate with a clean, refreshing quality; bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the herbal spice to remain the focal point through to the swallow.

◑ Finish

Coriander persists gracefully into a dry, clean finish. The aftertaste remains light and refreshing without astringency, fading gradually with residual spice character.

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.
