◌ Aroma

A vibrant bouquet opens with fresh mandarin orange and orange peel, supported by pronounced spice notes from coriander and grains of paradise. The wheat and oat malt base contributes a subtle grain sweetness that frames the citrus and herbal complexity without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

The palate is silky and smooth, with orange and citrus flavors arriving first, followed by warming spice from the coriander and grains of paradise in the mid-palate. The wheat and oat components lend a creamy mouthfeel, while the low bitterness of 15 IBU allows the fruit and spice to dominate without sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a faint herbal dryness that invites another sip. The aftertaste remains light and dry, without residual sweetness.

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.
