Bira 91 White if you want something sessionable and clean,
Wittekerke if you want more texture and Belgian character.
Both are witbiers with identical IBUs, so bitterness won't separate them. The real difference is ABV and mouthfeel—Bira leans lighter and crisper, while Wittekerke brings a slightly fuller body and spice complexity that feels more traditionally Belgian.

Bira 91 White
Bira 91 White tastes like someone took a witbier template and stripped it down to essentials—crisp wheat base, minimal spice, almost no residual sweetness. The citrus note (orange peel, mostly) comes and goes quickly. At 4.7%, it drinks dangerously easy; you won't feel the alcohol at all. It's the kind of beer that disappears between conversations, which is either a feature or a bug depending on your mood.
Wittekerke
Wittekerke has more going on—you get that classic witbier coriander and orange, but there's a subtle almond or vanilla note underneath that lingers on your palate. The body feels rounder, less wispy than Bira. At 5%, there's just enough weight to remind you you're drinking beer, not flavored soda water. It tastes like it actually wants to be a witbier, not just occupy the category.
