The White Lodge

Tap to rate

The White Lodge is a classic Belgian-style wit: a large portion of wheat with pilsner malt and oats, coriander and orange peel added in the kettle for citrus and floral character, and a traditional Belgian yeast for fermentation. At 4.8% it stays in the lineup year-round, in cans and on tap at both Seattle taprooms.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for The White Lodge

◎ Appearance

The White Lodge presents a pale straw-gold hue with excellent clarity and a bright, white foam head that clings persistently to the glass. Fine carbonation rises steadily, maintaining visible bubbles throughout the pour. The head exhibits tight Schaumkleiden that gradually settle into a delicate ring at the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh wheat character and prominent coriander spice, followed by bright citrus notes from the orange peel addition. Floral undertones from the Belgian yeast suggest subtle notes of chamomile and herbs, creating an aromatic profile that is clean and inviting without being aggressive. The overall impression is herbaceous and gently spiced rather than fruity.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and refreshing, with wheat and oat malt providing a slightly creamy mouthfeel balanced by restrained bitterness from noble hops. The mid-palate unfolds with coriander and citrus character, finishing crisp and dry without astringency. At 4.8% ABV, the beer drinks light and accessible, allowing the spice and citrus to develop fully without alcohol warmth.

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.
