Tap to rate

Calabria's unique contribution to the witbier world — brewed with bergamot peel from the Reggio Calabria coast, where 95% of the world's bergamot is grown. Pale and hazy with a fine white head; the nose is intensely floral and citrusy with the distinctive bergamot perfume. Light, refreshing, and unlike any other witbier on earth — the terroir beer of southern Italy's most aromatic region.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by the distinctive bergamot perfume—floral, citrusy, and intensely aromatic, reflecting the terroir of Reggio Calabria's prized peel. Supporting notes of wheat grain, subtle orange zest, and delicate herbal undertones emerge as the beer warms slightly. The overall aromatic profile is bright and refined, with no harsh or astringent edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with the bergamot character unfolding across the palate in a clean, citrusy wave. The wheat malts provide a soft, slightly creamy backbone, while herbal and orange notes develop in the mid-palate without heaviness. Bitterness is minimal and restrained, allowing the botanical character to remain the focus throughout.

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.
