🌍 Netherlands · Witbier · One of 47 Witbiers in hopIQ

Strip is a 5 percent witbier made with the SkateCafe in Amsterdam Noord, rooted in the energy of the Hamerkwartier. The recipe reads like a witbier manifesto: barley and wheat malt, wheat flakes, orange peel and coriander alongside hops and yeast — the soft grain base balanced by the spice and citrus the style is built on. The result is approachable and alive, light enough to drink for hours. Come for a drink, stay for the night.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Strip – Wit

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.
