Orange Avenue

Tap to rate

This wheat beer has been brewed since the brewpub opened in 1996 and takes its name from the island's main street, once lined with fruit trees. It is light-bodied and follows the witbier tradition, brewed with orange zest, coriander and orange blossom honey. The aroma is bright with fresh citrus peel and a hint of earthy spice from the coriander. On the palate sunny citrus leads over soft wheat, and a slight honeyed sweetness rounds out the short, refreshing finish with low bitterness.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with bright sunny citrus that integrates smoothly with soft, wheaten grain character. Orange blossom honey contributes a subtle sweetness that complements rather than dominates, while coriander adds a gentle spiced undertone. Bitterness remains low and restrained, allowing the fruit and spice to take precedence.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, allowing the citrus to fade gracefully without lingering harshness. A light honeyed sweetness carries through to the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

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.
