Becken Rubia
Witbier 5 º
Becken Rubia is an evocative Witbier that bridges traditional Belgian influence with botanical complexity. The sensory experience is defined by a pale, milky haze and a bouquet of herbal chamomile flowers and aromatic coriander seeds. The inclusion of wheat and oats provides a soft, bready foundation, while the use of mandarin peel offers a bright, zesty citrus lift that distinguishes it from standard orange-led examples. Refreshing and highly effervescent, it balances delicate floral notes with a crisp, dry finish. This unique recipe showcases a sophisticated integration of grains and botanicals, delivering a light-bodied, sunshine-gold ale with moderate fruitiness and low bitterness.
Appearance. Pale straw to deep yellow (2–4 SRM). Very cloudy with a milky, whitish-yellow shine from starch and yeast. Features a dense, white, moussy head with good retention.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring zesty, citrusy mandarin peel and perfumy, lemony coriander. A distinct herbal, floral layer from chamomile flowers blends with grainy, spicy wheat and light bready maltiness. Low yeast-derived esters; no hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is refreshingly crisp with bready, grainy malt flavors supported by the smooth character of oats. Prominent zesty mandarin citrus and subtle herbal chamomile flavors. Hop bitterness is low, supporting the spicy coriander and floral elements without overshadowing them. Finish is clean and dry without any harsh aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notable smoothness and light creaminess derived from the unmalted wheat and oats. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent character. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
