White Thai

Westbrook Brewing Co.
United States·Witbier
Tap to rate

A Southeast-Asian-inspired witbier brewed with wheat and lightly spiced with fresh ginger and lemongrass. Soft and creamy with a zesty citrus lift, gentle peppery spice and a light, refreshing wheat body. A playful nod to the founders' love of Southeast Asian cooking, and a warm-weather favourite in the taproom.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for White Thai

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, pillowy white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The beer presents a bright, inviting visual character typical of the witbier style, with steady carbonation visible as fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—lemon and subtle grapefruit—balanced by fresh herbal and floral notes from the lemongrass. Warm ginger spice emerges underneath, supported by gentle wheat grain and a soft yeasty backdrop that adds complexity without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate begins soft and creamy, with wheat providing a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. Ginger and lemongrass spice develop mid-palate with a gentle peppery warmth, while citrus acidity refreshes throughout. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the spice and adjunct flavors 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.
