White Owl Spark if you want clean, American-style refinement;
Wittekerke if you want Belgian earthiness and spice.
Both sit at 5% ABV and 15 IBU, so they're technically identical on paper—but the breweries take completely different roads. Spark plays it straightforward; Wittekerke leans into Old World character. Your call depends on whether you're in the mood for clarity or complexity.

White Owl Spark
White Owl Spark reads like a witbier with the volume turned down. The coriander and orange peel are there, but they're restrained—almost polite. You get a clean wheat base, a whisper of citrus on the finish, and zero pretension. It's the kind of beer that disappears fast because you're not wrestling with it; you're just drinking it.
Wittekerke
Wittekerke hits differently. There's a honeyed sweetness up front, then a subtle peppery kick that lingers. The wheat feels rounder, almost creamy, and the spice profile—coriander, but also something harder to pin down—gives it a slightly medicinal, old-school witbier vibe. It's got personality that demands attention.
