🌍 Belgium · Belgian Witbier · One of 13 Belgian Witbiers in hopIQ

The Wit is St. Bernardus's entry into the Belgian witbier style — 5.5% ABV, brewed with malted wheat, coriander, and orange peel. It pours a hazy pale straw colour with a fluffy, short-lived white head. The aroma is fresh and appealing: orange zest, light coriander spice, and gentle floral notes from the yeast and wheat, with a hint of lemon peel. On the palate it is light and refreshing, with lively carbonation and a slightly tart, clean finish. The spicing is restrained compared to some witbiers — the brewery's house yeast character is present but subtle, giving it a slightly more refined character than some mass-market examples. A pleasant warm-weather beer from a brewery better known for its dark, strong ales.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of St. Bernardus Wit

Serve at 7–10°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.
