🌍 Spain · Witbier · One of 77 Witbiers in hopIQ

Flanders is La Sagra's take on the Belgian white beer, brewed from barley and wheat malts with orange peel and coriander. It pours a pale straw colour. The nose is fruity and spiced, with orange zest, coriander seed and a hint of pepper. On the palate citrus and soft wheat bread meet a smooth, creamy body, while the peel keeps everything fresh. The finish turns floral and dry, with a restrained bitterness in the background.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of La Sagra Flanders

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.
