Original 16 Prairie White
Two-row barley and spring wheat form the base, with orange zest and Saskatchewan-grown coriander going into the brew. It arrives cloudy and pale straw, carrying orange peel and lemon on the nose with a soft peppery spice sitting behind them. The wheat builds a fuller, faintly creamy body than the strength would suggest, and the close is tart and quenching rather than dry. Bitterness is negligible.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Original 16 Prairie White
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.
