Rhubarb Wit

Tap to rate

A traditional Belgian witbier made with Belgian ale yeast, orange peel, Maine oats, and New Hampshire wheat and chamomile — then loaded with 75lbs of New Hampshire rhubarb. Super drinkable, a bit tart, with pleasant citrusy lemon flavours dancing throughout. The epitome of summer in a glass.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rhubarb Wit

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with the characteristic haze of an unfiltered witbier, revealing fine suspended particles that catch the light. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good persistence, leaving gentle lacing on each sip. Moderate carbonation rises steadily, creating a lively visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus and subtle orange peel alongside the soft, grainy sweetness of Belgian wheat and oats. Gentle floral notes from chamomile and Belgian ale yeast esters create a delicate backdrop, with no aggressive hop bite. The rhubarb presence emerges as a tart, slightly tart-fruity undertone rather than a dominant force.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp wheat grain and a clean, lemony citrus character that evolves through the mid-palate into rhubarb's gentle tartness and subtle stone-fruit complexity. The low 15 IBU bitterness never intrudes; instead, the light creamy mouthfeel from oats balances the acidity beautifully. Orange and subtle floral notes persist without overwhelming the drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and medium in length, leaving a clean dry sensation with lingering citrus and a whisper of tart rhubarb on the back of the palate. No heavy residue remains, inviting another sip.

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.
