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.

◌ 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.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and snappy, with the spice and wheat notes fading cleanly without residual sweetness. A light, refreshing aftertaste lingers briefly, inviting the next 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.
