Witbier 5.5 º 30 IBU

Frankendael Brewing

This vibrant Witbier delivers a summer-ready sensory experience, transforming traditional Belgian wheat beer elements with a modern twist. Brewed with classic wheat and pilsner malts, it provides a soft, bready foundation that supports a uniquely refreshing aroma. Rather than typical orange, a brilliant splash of fresh Sicilian cactus and zesty lime takes center stage, injecting an exotic, tropical-citrus brightness. The palate is treated to an effervescent, crisp thirst-quencher where the light, grainy sweetness of the pilsner malts balances the tangy, mouthwatering lime zest, finishing dry, clean, and transitionally inviting.

Appearance. Pale straw to light yellow in color with a heavy, milky starch haze. Supports a dense, billowy, snow-white mousse head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity, dominated by bright, zesty lime and a sweet-green, tropical note of Sicilian cactus. Supported by clean, bready wheat malt aromatics and a light, peppery, Belgian yeast-derived phenolic spiciness.

Taste. An initial burst of tangy lime citrus and succulent, melon-like cactus sweetness yields to a soft, doughy wheat malt backbone. Hop bitterness is low, providing gentle support for the vibrant fruit and light spice. Finishes remarkably crisp, dry, and thirst-quenching without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the wheat. Highly carbonated and effervescent, offering a refreshing, lively prickle on the tongue with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
