Orange Citrus Wheat

Tap to rate

A wheat beer following the Belgian witbier template, spiced with sweet orange peel and coriander. It pours hazy orange and keeps a soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel from the wheat portion. The aroma is dominated by orange citrus with mild coriander behind it. Bitterness stays very low, so the fruit and spice carry the beer through to a gently dry finish rather than a sweet one.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Orange Citrus Wheat

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a hazy orange hue, characteristic of a wheat-based witbier where suspended yeast and grain proteins create deliberate cloudiness rather than flaw. The head is soft and slightly creamy, with modest retention and fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Carbonation is gentle, befitting the approachable 5% ABV.

◌ Aroma

Bright orange citrus dominates the nose, with sweet peel character taking the lead. Coriander emerges as a supporting note—herbaceous and gently spiced rather than sharp. Underlying wheat malt provides a soft, grainy foundation without heavy phenolic or clove-driven yeast impressions.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly creamy from the wheat malt body, delivering subtle sweetness from the grain. Mid-palate showcases orange and coriander in tandem, with the spice adding mild warmth and complexity. Bitterness remains subdued at 16 IBU, allowing fruit and spice to guide the palate through without astringency; the finish leans gently dry rather than cloyingly sweet.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately lingering, with coriander and a whisper of orange peel fading into a light, dry sensation. No residual sweetness or harsh phenolics persist.

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.
