Monday Night Fu Manbrew

Tap to rate

Monday Night's Belgian wit — 5.2% ABV, unfiltered wheat body, coriander and dried orange peel front and centre, soft yeasty warmth from the Belgian strain. Not a copy of Hoegaarden — Atlanta-tuned, a shade drier, a touch more citrus. The mustachioed mascot has been on shelves for years; this is the wit that made the wit-slot in the Southeast.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Monday Night Fu Manbrew

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a distinctly hazy, cloudy body from the unfiltered wheat and suspended yeast. The dense, creamy white head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass rim, leaving a delicate trail of lacing with each sip. Visible carbonation animates the body with fine, steady bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Coriander and dried orange peel dominate the nose immediately, framed by the soft, phenolic warmth of the Belgian yeast strain. A gentle wheat maltiness provides a faint grainy base, complemented by subtle spice notes that lean toward white pepper rather than heavy clove. The profile is brightly citric without sharpness, inviting and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean wheat character and delicate sweetness, quickly tempered by a drying middle that prevents any cloying impression. Coriander and orange peel flavours develop distinctly on the mid-palate, with a subtle floral undertone and crisp, peppery finish that builds gently. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the botanical and fruit elements to lead throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, drying and clean with a fading citrus note and lingering pepper spice. A light, refreshing aftertaste of wheat and yeast warmth carries through without heaviness.

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.
