This refreshing Weissbier evolution presents a vibrant sensory profile driven by a unique infusion of orange peel and coriander seed. The traditional bready wheat foundation is elevated by the tropical and citrus-forward character of Wai-iti and Idaho 7 hops, delivering distinct notes of grapefruit and fresh orange. While it maintains the classic hazy appearance and fluffy mouthfeel of a German wheat beer, the bitterness is more pronounced than a standard version, balancing the initial citrus zest with a rich, hop-forward finish that gradually reveals a subtle malty sweetness.
Appearance.Pale straw to gold in color. Features a very thick, moussy, and long-lasting white head. The body is hazy with a noticeable shine from the high wheat and yeast content.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity featuring bright orange and grapefruit citrus notes from Wai-iti and Idaho 7 hops. A spicy coriander character blends with traditional clove and banana yeast esters, all backed by a bready, doughy, and grainy wheat malt presence.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp burst of citrus orange and grapefruit. A core of bready wheat malt is complemented by a spicy coriander touch. Bitterness is moderate and firm, providing a crisp counterpoint to the fruit. The finish is relatively dry, with lingering orange zest and a late, subtle malty sweetness as it fades.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a characteristic fluffy, creamy fullness. High carbonation creates a spritzy, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Very light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
