Noorderwiend

Netherlands·Winter Warmer
Tap to rate

A soft, fruity little bitterness from curaçao peel runs through this robust winter beer with a full flavour. It is as wild as the cold winter wind on Texel that whips the waves high, yet warm and strong at the same time, a beer for beside a crackling fire. Thawing out has never tasted so good. Best at 10 °C. 7.5% ABV.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and assertive on entry, with orange and stone fruit flavors backed by gentle bittering from curaçao peel. The mid-palate reveals caramel and malty depth, while moderate spice and alcohol warmth build toward a dry, slightly boozy finish.

A long, warming finish with lingering orange and spice notes that fade gradually to a drying, malty baseline. The alcohol heat persists pleasantly in the throat.
