Magma Bergamot Wit if you want bright citrus precision and restraint, St.
Bernardus Wit if you want rounded wheat warmth and body. Both sit in the Belgian witbier pocket, but Magma's bergamot is a deliberate flavor choice—it cuts through clean and specific. St. Bernardus builds complexity from yeast and grain rather than citrus focus, giving you more to work through.

Magma Bergamot Wit
Magma's bergamot isn't subtle—it arrives on the nose like Earl Grey tea, then settles into the flavor as a dry, almost herbal edge that cuts through the wheat. The body stays light and crisp, letting that bergamot do the talking without clutter. It's a wit that feels designed, intentional, not just a baseline Belgian wheat beer. The 4.8% ABV keeps it nimble.
St. Bernardus Wit
St. Bernardus feels rounder, richer somehow, even at only 0.7% more alcohol. The wheat comes through warmer, with a slightly grainy sweetness underneath the typical witbier spice notes. There's a fullness here that suggests longer mash times or a different yeast character—less tea-like than Magma, more bread-like. It drinks bigger than the numbers suggest.
