Wittekerke

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctly hazy, cloudy appearance characteristic of the style. A dense, pillowy white head rises quickly and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, contributing to the beer's visual softness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft wheat and fresh grain notes, underpinned by a delicate spice character—hints of coriander and gentle phenolics from the Belgian yeast. Citrus and light herbal notes emerge underneath, balanced by a subtle sweetness that never becomes cloying. The overall impression is bright, aromatic, and inviting without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters soft and slightly sweet, with wheat providing a creamy, smooth base. Mid-palate brings a pleasant fruity character and a whisper of citrus brightness, while the low bitterness (15 IBU) allows sweetness to linger gently. A mild spicy bite emerges alongside, keeping the beer from feeling heavy or dull.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and crisp, with the carbonation carrying flavors toward a dry conclusion. A light, refreshing aftertaste of wheat and mild spice persists without lingering sweetness.

Kalt servieren, um die zarten Zitrus- und Gewürzaromen zu erhalten. Zu warm werden die Hefe-Ester schwer — zu kalt verschwindet der Koriander.

Das hohe, schlanke Weizenglas fasst die volle 50cl-Portion und zeigt die trüb-goldene Farbe. Das breite Mundstück lässt Zitrus- und Gewürzaromen frei aufsteigen.
