A fresh witbier at 4.6% ABV and just 12 IBU, brewed with orange and lemon peel. The orange peel shows up subtly, citrus stays in the background, and the bitterness is light.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Croco Wit

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate patterns. The beer presents bright, inviting color typical of the style, with steady carbonation evident in the steady bead rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft wheat notes, gently backed by citrus peel—orange predominates, with subtle lemon undertones. Coriander and a whisper of spice emerge in the mid-palate, creating a complex aromatic profile that remains fresh and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate is light and clean, with wheat providing the structural foundation and a subtle sweetness balancing the minimal bitterness. Citrus notes remain restrained on entry and mid-palate, allowing the coriander and spice to add definition without dominating. The 12 IBU bitterness lingers only briefly, preserving the beer's refreshing quality.

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.
