Troost Extra Wit

Tap to rate

The Belgian yeast sets subtle banana and clove notes, lemon peel and coriander seed shape the character, and chamomile adds a soft, lightly spiced twist. Barley, wheat and oats keep the beer slightly cloudy with a gently soft structure. A 5% witbier in the Belgian style, brewed in volume at Westergas.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Troost Extra Wit

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-gold with a distinctly hazy, cloudy character from the suspension of wheat and oat solids. A dense, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Fine carbonation rises gently through the body, creating a soft, pillowy visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The Belgian yeast character emerges immediately with soft banana and subtle clove notes, supported by a bright citrus zest of lemon peel. Spicy coriander seed and a gentle herbal chamomile note add complexity without dominating. The grain foundation of barley, wheat and oats provides a faint, clean malty undertone that grounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth, gently spiced coriander and clove balanced against a bright citrus backdrop. Mid-palate reveals the soft wheat and oat structure, creating a silky, slightly creamy mouthfeel without heaviness. Light bitterness emerges from noble hops and the herbal adjuncts, finishing dry and crisp without astringency. The 5% ABV remains completely transparent to the flavor expression.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, clean and gently herbal, with the chamomile and coriander lingering pleasantly. No harsh grip or residual sweetness—just a soft, appetizing fade.

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.
