Tap to rate

Zagori Microbrewery's witbier — a Belgian-style white beer brewed with coriander and orange peel using the same Epirus mountain spring water. Hazy golden with a citrus-spiced character, orange peel aromatics and a refreshing, dry finish. Zagori White is one of the few quality witbiers produced in Greece, bringing the Belgian wheat beer tradition to the mountains of northwest Greece.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Zagori White

◎ Appearance

Zagori White presents a luminous hazy golden hue characteristic of authentic Belgian witbiers, with excellent turbidity from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. The dense white head forms readily and maintains excellent retention, while the carbonation appears bright and lively in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent orange peel and citrus zest aromatics, immediately evoking the beer's Belgian spice additions. Coriander and subtle clove notes emerge underneath, supported by soft wheat bread notes that provide a gentle malty foundation without overshadowing the aromatic spices.

◐ Taste

The palate is dominated by soft wheat bread character with integrated citrus-spiced complexity from coriander and orange peel. A creamy, smooth mouthfeel belies the light body, while the minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows the subtle sweetness and spice to dance across the mid-palate before building toward a clean, dry conclusion.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry with excellent cleanliness, allowing the orange and coriander notes to linger briefly without becoming astringent. A pleasant, subtle sweetness fades gracefully, leaving only refreshing citrus zest on the palate.

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.
