What is a Witbier?
Witbiers are Belgian white ales brewed with unmalted wheat, 4.5–5.5% ABV. Hazy and refreshing with citrus peel, coriander spice and a soft creamy body.

Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Wayan
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.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wayan
◎ Appearance
Wayan presents a luminous hazy golden hue, true to the witbier tradition with characteristic cloudiness from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. A pillowy white head forms generously and maintains good retention, supported by the beer's moderate carbonation. The haziness is inviting rather than murky, allowing light to glow warmly through the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes, particularly orange peel, complemented by warming coriander spice and subtle herbal undertones. Italian kamut grain adds a gentle wheat-driven maltiness underneath the brighter aromatics. The bouquet is clean and aromatic without being aggressive, inviting further exploration.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and refreshing with immediate citrus brightness balanced by the subtle sweetness of heritage grain. The mid-palate develops the coriander and orange peel characteristics beautifully, creating a sophisticated spiced complexity. Low bitterness (12 IBU) keeps the focus on flavor nuance rather than hop assertion, allowing the Belgian yeast character and grain bill to shine.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshing with excellent drinkability, the low IBU ensuring no lingering bitterness. A subtle warmth from the 5.8% ABV and fading citrus notes provide gentle closure without heaviness.
