Witbier 4.6 º 8 IBU

Hornbeer

Hornbeer Summer is a vibrant, aromatic Witbier that captures the essence of a Scandinavian landscape. The base offers a delicate bready malt foundation with hints of honey, layered with the distinct, heady perfume of elderflower. Bright citrus notes and a whisper of peppery spice intermingle with a light, natural acidity that enhances the beer’s refreshing character. While it presents as a classic pale, hazy wheat ale, the infusion of elderflower elevates the sensory experience, providing a floral sophistication that balances the zesty orange and herbal hop nuances. It concludes with a crisp, dry finish, making it an exceptionally bright and evocative summer refreshment.

Appearance. Very pale straw to light yellow. Distinctly hazy with a milky sheen from suspended yeast and wheat starch. Features a dense, white, moussy head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring bready, grainy wheat malt and a subtle honey sweetness. Dominant floral elderflower aromatics are complemented by zesty, citrusy orange peel and a faint, peppery coriander spice. Low herbal hop notes may be present but remain secondary to the floral and fruity profile.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, bready malt and grainy wheat, quickly followed by a perfumy elderflower and honey character. Moderate citrus zest flavors lead into a light, refreshing acidity. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to support the floral and spice elements. The finish is crisp, clean, and dry without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent, prickly sensation on the tongue. Refreshing and light with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
