Ballarak Sicilian Wheat if you want citrus and spice complexity,
The Booth Hoppy Wheat if you want clean grain with subtle hop bite.
The Ballarak leans into witbier tradition—coriander and orange peel are unmistakable—while The Booth strips things back to let the wheat and light hops breathe. Both hover around 5% ABV territory, so alcohol isn't the differentiator; it's philosophy.

Ballarak Sicilian Wheat
The Ballarak hits you immediately with orange zest and coriander—proper Belgian wit character, not subtle. There's a peppery spice underneath that lingers on the finish. The body's light and slightly creamy, which lets those botanicals float around without weighing anything down. At 12 IBU, it's not bitter at all; it's just clean and aromatic, like drinking a well-made cocktail.
The Booth Hoppy Wheat
The Booth keeps things honest. Soft wheat malt sweetness upfront, then a crisp hop snap on the back end—nothing aggressive, just a gentle reminder hops are there. It's drier than the Ballarak, more straightforward in its appeal. The 14 IBU does just enough work to cut through the grain and refresh your palate. This is a wheat ale that knows what it wants to be.
