Citrus and a subtle spice shape this bright, sessionable Belgian white, which weighs in at just 2.4% ABV. Garage Brewing Co. in Murrieta, California, also calls it Half Wit and offers it as a limited release, on draft and in cans; the brewery itself started in a former garage in Old Town Temecula in 2013.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blank Canvas

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is brisk and even, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as the beer is consumed. The body appears light and inviting, characteristic of a low-gravity witbier.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and orange peel—layered with subtle spice from coriander and a whisper of wheat grain. These aromatic layers are clean and well-defined, with no rough edges or oxidative character. The yeast contributes a soft, bready undertone that grounds the bright top notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with immediate citrus and wheat character balanced against minimal bitterness (15 IBU). The mid-palate remains light and dry, allowing the spice and citrus to develop without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained and fades quickly, preserving the beer's sessionable character and clean finish.

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.
