Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Störtebeker Sommer-Wit
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
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.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Störtebeker Sommer-Wit
◎ Appearance
Pale golden to straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that retains well. The beer displays lively carbonation with visible effervescence throughout the glass, characteristic of a well-crafted witbier.
◌ Aroma
A vibrant aromatic profile leading with bright citrus notes from orange peel and herbal complexity from coriander and clove. The wheat-based foundation carries subtle banana esters and yeasty phenolics typical of Belgian wit yeast, with a clean organic character.
◐ Taste
Crisp and refreshing entry with a soft wheat body that feels light on the palate. The mid-palate develops pleasant spice notes from coriander and clove with subtle banana notes, while restrained bitterness (12 IBU) keeps the beer approachable and summery.
◑ Finish
Clean and dry finish with minimal aftertaste, allowing the herbal spice notes to fade gracefully. The effervescence lingers pleasantly without becoming cloying.
