Witbier 5 º

Autodidact Beer

Autodidact Beer Tempest is a quintessential Witbier, offering a bright and incredibly refreshing sensory experience. The profile opens with a delicate bouquet of bready wheat and soft honey-like malt, quickly layered with the perfume of lemony coriander and the zesty, citrus snap of bitter orange peel. This 5% ale presents a milky, pale straw appearance with a thick, white moussy head. On the palate, a crisp, grainy sweetness is balanced by subtle herbal spice and a very low hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is characterized by a high, effervescent carbonation and a creamy texture from unmalted wheat, culminating in a clean, bone-dry finish.

Appearance. Pale straw (3 SRM) and very cloudy with a signature milky, whitish-yellow glow. Features a dense, white, moussy head with excellent retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a distinct bready, grainy malt presence and faint hints of vanilla. High notes of perfumy, lemony coriander blend with the zesty, citrus character of bitter orange peel. Low fruity esters and a light herbal spice from the Belgian yeast are present, while hop aroma remains absent.

Taste. Initial flavors of bready malt and sweet grain are immediately joined by a vibrant zesty orange fruitiness. The coriander provides a complex herbal and lemony background. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to support the citrus and spice. Finishes refreshingly crisp and dry without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture derived from the use of unmalted wheat. Highly carbonated and effervescent, providing a refreshing sting on the tongue. No detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
