hopIQ take

Very crisp mouthfeel.

A sharp texture drives the beer — a clean, direct pour with room for the palate to fill in.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Windmills Wit

Appearance

Pale straw to pale gold with a characteristically hazy, cloudy appearance from suspended yeast and wheat proteins. A generous, creamy white head forms and persists with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation presents a soft, inviting effervescence.

pale goldhazy from yeastcreamy headfine carbonation

Aroma

A bright, inviting nose opens with fresh wheat and a subtle grainy sweetness. Coriander and dried orange peel emerge as the primary spice notes, adding an herbal and citrus character without sharpness. A light yeasty, slightly phenolic backdrop gives the aroma gentle complexity and a hint of clove.

Taste

The palate enters smooth and wheat-forward, with a soft, slightly sweet maltiness that avoids heaviness. Coriander and orange peel spices bloom mid-palate, layering herbal and citrus notes with a refreshing quality. Low bitterness (15 IBU) remains subtle and never intrusive; the finish is clean and crisp with a gentle wheat grain lingering.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Windmills Wit

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.
