White Mamba

Tap to rate

Cardamom, coriander and a light citrusy note meet a slightly bitter aftertaste with a little sourness in this spiced wheat beer. White Mamba is a 5.0% witbier at around 6 IBU, brewed with barley and wheat plus coriander, cardamom, lime leaf and lime. Two Chefs first brewed it in 2016, and it is one of the originals made all year round.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright coriander and cardamom spice, immediately recognizable from the brewing adjuncts. Behind the spice sits a subtle wheat grain character, rounded out by a delicate lime and citrus zest note that lifts without dominating. The overall impression is herbaceous and clean, with no harsh or yeasty edges.

◐ Taste

On the palate, coriander takes center stage with a warm, slightly peppery character, complemented by soft wheat sweetness and a whisper of lime leaf complexity. The moderate bitterness arrives mid-palate at just 6 IBU, creating gentle structure without aggression. A subtle sour note emerges toward the swallow, adding dimension and preventing flatness.

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.
