Venloosch Wit

Tap to rate

A wheat beer brewed from malted barley, wheat and oats, with coriander supplying the spice and a citrus note running underneath. The hopping is mild and the head holds well. Oats are the unusual part of the grist — most witbiers stop at wheat. Bronze at the 2023 World Beer Awards, silver at the 2023 Dutch Beer Challenge and silver at the 2022 London Beer Competition.

The nose leads with soft wheat grain and a distinctive warm spice note from coriander, which sits comfortably alongside subtle citrus undertones. The oats contribute a gentle, almost creamy backdrop without any sharp or grainy edges, while the mild hopping remains restrained in the background.

◐ Taste

The body remains light and refreshing, with clean malt sweetness balanced by crisp, understated bitterness that never overwhelms.

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.
