La Rana Dorada Blanche

Tap to rate

La Rana Dorada's Blanche brings Belgian wit tradition to Panama's tropical heat — light, refreshing, and built on wheat, coriander, and subtle citrus spice. The high carbonation keeps it snappy despite the 4% ABV, and the body stays soft and approachable. This is the everyday beer that's kept Panama's brewers returning to the style for good reason.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft wheat grain and a gentle spice character—coriander lending a subtle herbal lift rather than dominance. Beneath sits a faint citrus zest and delicate floral undertones, with a clean, neutral yeast signature that keeps the profile balanced and approachable. There is no aggressive hop presence; instead, the aromatic frame feels light and refreshing, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and pillowy on the palate, with gentle wheat sweetness and a whisper of coriander spice that develops without overwhelming. Mid-palate shows crisp, clean flavors with subtle citrus notes and a light, dry finish toward the back. Bitterness is minimal at 15 IBU, allowing the wheat and spice to speak clearly while the high carbonation maintains snap and structure despite the modest 4% alcohol.

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.
