Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for The White Lodge

Appearance

The White Lodge presents a pale, hazy golden appearance characteristic of the witbier style. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with delicate lacing. The suspension of wheat and oat particles creates an inviting, soft cloudiness that catches the light.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from orange peel, layered over a subtle floral character. Underlying wheat and oat malts provide a soft, bready foundation, while coriander adds a gentle spice and herbal complexity. The overall bouquet is clean and inviting, with no sharp edges.

Taste

The palate opens soft and wheaty with a creamy mouthfeel. Citrus and orange notes develop mid-palate, complemented by the subtle warmth of coriander and a whisper of herbal spice. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the malt and adjuncts to dominate, finishing with a light, crisp quality.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of The White Lodge

Serve at 5–8°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.
