Bride – Wit

Oedipus Brewing
Netherlands·Witbier
Tap to rate

A witbier that breaks the rule the style is built on: green peppercorn where coriander belongs. Orange and tangerine peel alongside it, flaked oats in the mash. The result is drier than most witbiers, with hoppy citrus and fresh orange peel — light and fresh, but with enough spice to stay interesting. Gold at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2025.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bride – Wit

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue, brilliantly clear with fine carbonation rising steadily. The head is substantial and white, settling into a delicate lacing that clings to the glass with each sip.

pale goldenbright clarityfine carbonationpersistent lace

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—orange and tangerine peel—backed by an assertive green peppercorn spice that breaks from witbier convention. Beneath lies a soft, grainy maltiness with oat notes, underpinned by gentle herbal complexity and a whisper of fresh yeast character.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and crisp, with tart orange blossom and citrus hop character dominating the front palate. The mid-palate reveals a mineral dryness from flaked oats and the green peppercorn asserting itself as spice rather than warmth, while hoppy bitterness adds definition without harshness. Finishes clean and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with residual orange zest and a subtle peppery dryness persisting on the palate. Refreshment outpaces any sweetness.

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.
