Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Bira 91 White if you want a lighter, crisper witbier that won't fill you up,
Fiddlehead White if you want more body and presence in the glass.
Both sit at 15 IBUs, so the spice/citrus balance is similar—the real difference is that half-point of ABV and how it changes the mouthfeel. Bira's the one you can drink three of without thinking about it; Fiddlehead's the one that feels like an actual meal.

Tasting notes
Bira 91 White
Bira 91 White drinks like a witbier designed for hot weather and back-to-back rounds. It's got the obligatory coriander and orange peel, but they're polite about it—not screaming. The body is genuinely light, almost delicate, with a slightly chalky finish that keeps things dry. You taste wheat and subtle spice, not drama.
Fiddlehead White
Fiddlehead's version has more backbone. There's a noticeable creaminess from the higher ABV and slightly thicker mouthfeel that makes it feel more deliberate, less refreshment-focused. The citrus notes come through cleaner here, and the spice isn't buried—it lingers just enough to remind you this is a real witbier, not a gateway beer.
