White Rabbit White Ale

White Rabbit Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Australia · Witbier · One of 60 Witbiers in hopIQ

A Belgian-inspired wheat ale and the best known beer in the range. A large share of unmalted wheat leaves it cloudy and soft in the mouth, while a Belgian yeast strain adds faint clove and stone-fruit notes during fermentation. Coriander seed, juniper berry and bitter orange peel take the place of a heavy hop charge. Citrus peel and light spice sit on the nose, the palate stays bright and lightly tart, and only a thread of bitterness closes it out.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for White Rabbit White Ale

Appearance

A pale straw to pale gold color, deliberately hazy from unmalted wheat and suspended yeast. The cloudiness is soft and fine, lending an inviting, rustic character. A fluffy white head forms readily and maintains good retention with fine lacing.

pale goldhazy from yeastfine white headsoft cloudiness

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus peel and gentle spice, underpinned by the wheat's subtle grain sweetness. Belgian yeast contributes faint clove and stone-fruit notes without dominating. Coriander seed and juniper berry add herbal complexity, while bitter orange peel introduces a light exotic edge.

Taste

The palate opens soft and wheat-forward, with a silky mouthfeel sustained by the unmalted wheat. Mid-palate brightness emerges from lively tartness and citrus notes, while coriander and spice build a gentle complexity. A restrained bitterness threads through the finish without overwhelming the delicate balance.

Finish

Medium-short and clean, with the tartness lingering slightly as the herbal spice fades. A whisper of bitterness and orange zest remains on the palate, leaving a refreshing, crisp impression.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of White Rabbit White Ale

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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
Recommended for this style

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.
