🌍 Canada · Witbier · One of 53 Witbiers in hopIQ

A Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with wheat and oats and left unfiltered, which gives it its naturally cloudy pale gold appearance. The wheat lends a soft, bready body and the oats a rounder texture, while the yeast adds a light citrus and spice note. The bitterness stays mellow, the carbonation lively, and the beer closes soft rather than dry.

Appearance

A pale golden hue with deliberate cloudiness from unfiltered yeast, creating a naturally opaque, inviting appearance. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing on the walls. Carbonation is visibly lively, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the suspension.

Taste

The palate enters soft and creamy, with the wheat and oat base lending a smooth, slightly viscous mouthfeel. Coriander and citrus flavors emerge mid-palate in a balanced, understated manner. Bitterness remains restrained and clean, allowing the grain sweetness to remain prominent without becoming cloying.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Rickard's White

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.
