Witbier 4.5 º 15 IBU

Nøgne Ø

Nøgne Ø 4885 captures the essence of a classic Belgian Witbier, delivering an incredibly bright and refreshing profile tailored for coastal pairings. A lively bouquet of zesty bitter orange peel and freshly ground coriander seeds harmonizes with the rustic, bready character of unmalted wheat. On the palate, a gentle, light lactic sourness cuts through the soft, pillowy texture, lifting the herbal and citrus elements. It finishes remarkably clean and crisp with a dry, mouthwatering snap. This light, yeast-driven wheat ale balances delicate spice and vibrant fruitiness, showcasing a refreshing, highly carbonated elegance.

Appearance. Very pale straw to pale yellow in color. Highly cloudy with a milky, whitish-yellow haze from suspended yeast and wheat starches. Features a dense, thick, white moussy head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Prominent citrus notes of zesty bitter orange peel blend seamlessly with perfumy, lemony coriander and a light peppery spice. Backed by a delicate, sweet-grainy, bready maltiness from the wheat. Low herbal hop aroma is barely perceptible, while clean fermentation esters support the spicy botanical character.

Taste. The initial impression is refreshingly crisp and citrus-forward. Soft, bready malt flavors of wheat and barley support vibrant flavors of tangy orange zest and herbal, lemony coriander. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to balance the light, wheaty sweetness. Features a subtle, refreshing touch of lactic acidity. Finishes very dry and clean, leaving a lingering note of citrus peel and fine spice without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy and pillowy texture from the unmalted wheat. High, effervescent carbonation provides a lively, sparkling sensation. Refreshing and crisp, with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
