Witbier 5 º 7 IBU

Brasserie Kronenbourg

This Witbier is defined by its approachable and elegant profile, emphasizing a bright, fruity character. It opens with a distinctively fresh, perfumy bouquet of citrus—specifically zesty lemon—and a subtle, herbal spice note from the addition of coriander. The use of wheat provides a soft, bready foundation that supports the fruit-forward nature of the beer. Effervescent and crisp, it balances light malt sweetness with a gentle, refreshing acidity. The finish is clean and slightly dry, making it a quintessentially accessible interpretation of the style, marked by its modern, vibrant citrus-and-spice integration.

Appearance. Very pale straw (SRM 2-3) with a significant milky, opaque haze. Features a dense, moussy white head with moderate to good lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a perfumy, zesty lemon and orange fruitiness. A distinct herbal, spicy coriander note is present, backed by low grainy-bready wheat malt and a faint hint of vanilla sweetness. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is fruity and zesty, dominated by sweet citrus and lemon zest. A pleasant bready and grainy malt flavor provides a soft middle. Herbal coriander spices are noticeable but balanced. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to ensure a refreshingly crisp, dry finish with no harsh aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a characteristic smoothness and light creaminess from the wheat. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent sensation. Very refreshing with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
