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.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering herbal and citrus notes tapering into a light, dry conclusion. The spice fades gracefully, leaving behind a pleasant, palate-cleansing sensation.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of White Thai
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.
