Pastel
A Belgian-style witbier at 4.8% with fresh lemon and orange zest and juice added, balanced by a handful of toasted coriander. Barley, wheat and oats form the base, Centennial and Mittelfrüh the hopping. Citrus leads clearly, lemon first and orange behind it, while the overall impression stays rounded, bright and refreshing – low in intensity, as the name's nod to pastel colours suggests. Sold in cans.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Pastel
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.
