◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with coriander and clove spices dominating the mid-palate. Bright orange citrus and a light peppery character from the spice blend integrate seamlessly with soft wheat malt. Bitterness is restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the spice and fruit adjuncts to shine without harshness.

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.
