Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blanca

◎ Appearance

Blanca pours hazy and white-golden beneath a persistent frothy head, characteristic of the witbier style. The cloudiness derives from the yeast in suspension, lending a soft, approachable visual presence. Fine carbonation supports a stable foam collar with good retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft wheat notes and a gentle spice character, likely from coriander and orange peel typical of the style. Yeasty, phenolic undertones add complexity without dominating, while a light citrus brightness lifts the overall profile. The aromatics remain delicate and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes a balance between sweetness and restraint, with prominent wheat flavors providing a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Subtle spice and citrus flourishes emerge mid-palate, while low bitterness (15 IBU) keeps the beer approachable and smooth-drinking. The finish remains creamy and clean, with minimal hop bite.

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.
