What is a Witbier?

Witbiers are Belgian white ales brewed with unmalted wheat, 4.5–5.5% ABV. Hazy and refreshing with citrus peel, coriander spice and a soft creamy body.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Grosse Bertha

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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
Recommended for this style

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.
