Tap to rate

A witbier in the Belgian manner, spiced with orange peel and coriander seed. The spices set the tone: a spicy impression with orange peel on top of a base of barley and wheat malt. Bitterness is low. The name is Low German for easy-going, and the beer is built accordingly, at 12.5 °P original gravity, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sutsche

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a subtle haze characteristic of an unfiltered witbier. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. Gentle carbonation creates a soft, persistent mousse that gradually subsides.

◌ Aroma

Orange peel and coriander seed lead the nose, lending a bright spice character that sits atop a gentle malt foundation. Wheat contributes a soft, bready undertone without asserting itself. The aromatic profile is clean and approachable, with no harsh notes from the low bitterness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with orange zest and warm spice from coriander, balanced against a light barley and wheat malt base that provides subtle sweetness. Bitterness remains deliberately restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the spices and fruit to dominate. The body is lean and refreshing, finishing clean without any astringency.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with a lingering hint of orange and coriander. The aftertaste is dry and cleansing, inviting another sip.

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.
