WITBIER

Witbier, or “white beer,” is the quirky, unconventional cousin in the beer family, hailing from the charming Belgian countryside. This style is celebrated for its light, refreshing nature and a slightly cloudy appearance due to the unmalted wheat and sometimes oats that are its signature ingredients. It’s the sort of beer that doesn’t just quench your thirst, it enchants your taste buds.

Flavour-wise, Witbier is a delightful mélange of subtle complexities. Traditionally spiced with coriander and orange peel, it offers a zesty, citrusy brightness complemented by a gentle spicy whisper, making each sip a refreshing burst of flavours. The yeast also plays a crucial role, adding a touch of that beloved Belgian funk, hints of spice, and sometimes a faint, engaging tartness.

Visually, Witbiers pour a pale straw to light golden color, often quite hazy or even milky in appearance, which just adds to their mystique. They’re topped with a generous, fluffy white head, inviting you to dive into their soft embrace.

And the texture? Witbier is as smooth as they come. Light-bodied with a creamy effervescence, it dances on the palate with a lively carbonation that makes it incredibly drinkable and superbly refreshing. It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a warm day or when you’re looking for something a bit different but utterly satisfying.

Here’s to Witbier, the whimsical, light-hearted brew with a dash of Belgian eccentricity—just the thing to brighten up your day and lift your spirits! Cheers to the charmingly cloudy, wonderfully weird Witbier!
