Tap to rate

Light and hazy, in the Belgian witbier tradition. Orange zest leads the aroma with a coriander-like spice behind it, and the wheat gives a soft, slightly powdery body. Citrus carries through the middle and the finish is crisp and short. Smooth rather than tart, with the spice kept low enough that the fruit stays in charge.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Soccer Mom

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a distinctive haze from suspended wheat and yeast particles, characteristic of the witbier style. The head is fluffy and white, with moderate retention and delicate lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy appearance.

◌ Aroma

Orange zest dominates the nose with bright, fresh citrus notes that immediately draw the senses. Behind the citrus sits a subtle spice reminiscent of coriander, kept restrained enough not to overpower the fruit-forward character. Wheat contributes a soft, slightly powdery undertone that grounds the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with orange and citrus on entry, moving into a smooth middle where wheat provides body without heaviness. Spice remains integrated and gentle, allowing the citrus to lead throughout. The finish arrives crisp and clean, with fruit persistence balanced by a light, dry sensation.

◑ Finish

Short and clean, with the citrus notes fading quickly into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No astringency or harsh spice lingers; the departure is light and inviting.

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.

What is a Witbier?

Witbiers are Belgian white ales brewed with unmalted wheat, 4.5–5.5% ABV. Hazy and refreshing with citrus peel, coriander spice and a soft creamy body.
