Tops Wit is a quintessential Witbier that captures the classic Belgian profile of unmalted wheat and aromatic spices. It pours with a characteristic milky, pale straw haze and a towering white head. The aroma is defined by a bright citrusy-orange fruitiness and the perfumy, herbal snap of coriander, underpinned by a soft, bready malt presence with a whisper of vanilla. On the palate, the refreshing citrus notes meld seamlessly with subtle peppery spice. The mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and creamy despite its high carbonation, finishing crisp and dry with very low bitterness, making it an exceptionally drinkable and refreshing summer ale.
