Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Fiddlehead White if you want bright citrus and spice upfront,
Wittekerke if you want subtle Belgian funk and softer grain.
Both nail the witbier template at identical IBUs, but they're coming from different brewing traditions—one Vermont, one Flanders. The ABV difference is negligible; the flavor philosophy is what splits them.

Tasting notes
Fiddlehead White
Fiddlehead White hits you with coriander and orange peel right away—clean and assertive. The mouthfeel is crisp and almost peppery, with a wheat base that stays dry rather than creamy. It's a witbier that doesn't hide what it's doing; every spice note is deliberate and forward.
Wittekerke
Wittekerke is quieter, more contemplative. You get a soft, almost yeasty sweetness beneath the traditional coriander, and there's a whisper of something funky—that Belgian brewing character—that unfolds slowly. The finish lingers with a gentle grain sweetness rather than spice snap.
