Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Socialer Hour

◎ Appearance

Socialer Hour presents a hazy, golden-yellow body with suspended yeast proteins creating a soft, diffuse clarity. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving delicate rings of lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy matrix.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical stone fruit and citrus notes, underpinned by a soft wheat maltiness and subtle spice from the wit yeast character. Hints of clove and coriander emerge beneath the fruity top notes, while a gentle alcohol warmth becomes apparent at the edges without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and medium-bodied, leading with tropical fruit and citrus flavors balanced by gentle wheat grain sweetness. Mild spice and a dry finish build through the mid-palate, while the substantial 9.5% ABV remains integrated and warming rather than harsh. Bitterness stays restrained at 15 IBU, allowing fruit and malt to remain foremost.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with tropical and citrus echoes fading to a subtle wheat note and warming alcohol. The aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting rather than lingering heavily.

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.
