Frumaint

◎ Appearance

Hazy straw-gold with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The cloudiness comes from the wheat-rye blend and yeast suspension, lending an inviting, lived-in quality typical of the witbier style. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, creating a soft, pillowy effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Juniper and fresh ginger dominate the nose, adding an earthy, almost herbal pungency that sets this apart from standard witbiers. Sweet orange peel and coriander emerge beneath, bright and aromatic. The wheat base contributes a light, grain-forward sweetness that anchors the spice-led profile without becoming bready or doughy.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate spice—ginger's bite and juniper's piney warmth—followed by a wave of coriander that refreshes without harshness. The wheat-rye malt provides a clean, slightly dry foundation with minimal residual sweetness. Low bitterness (12 IBU) keeps the focus on the interplay of botanicals and grain, while the finish feels bright and herb-forward rather than sweet.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering notes of juniper and ginger that fade gradually into a subtle coriander aftertaste. No warmth despite the 5.2% ABV, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed and ready for the next sip.

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.
