Wit Bandit

Tap to rate

A fresh, fruity wheat beer with a natural haze and a soft fullness, brewed with orange and lemon peel for a light, citrus-fresh character. Barley malt, wheat malt and wheat go into the grist, and the beer is served unfiltered and unpasteurised. It is a witbier from Gamborg, the Middelfart brewery that grew out of a cellar and a garage.

A pale, luminous straw color with a natural haze characteristic of unfiltered witbier. The dense white head arrives quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation catches the light throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from orange and lemon peel, layered with gentle wheat character and a soft spiciness typical of witbier yeast. Underlying grain sweetness from barley and wheat malts adds depth without heaviness, while herbal undertones remain delicate and restrained.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and full-bodied despite the low ABV, with citrus flavors integrating seamlessly with the malt base. Mid-palate develops a gentle spice warmth and subtle fruity notes, while low bitterness allows sweetness and wheat texture to remain central. The beer finishes crisp and refreshing without drying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with lingering lemon and orange notes fading gracefully into a whisper of grain sweetness. No harshness or astringency; the aftertaste remains inviting and encourages 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.
