Witbier 5 º

Root + Branch Brewing

Les Fleurs du Mal is a delicate and refreshing expression of the classic Belgian Witbier style, presenting a characteristically hazy, milky-yellow appearance. The sensory profile is led by a bright, perfumy bouquet of crushed coriander and zesty orange peel, which harmonizes with a light, bready aroma derived from the use of unmalted wheat and raw oats. On the palate, a soft, creamy texture gives way to crisp citrus notes and a subtle, peppery spice. This moderate-strength ale finishes dry and effervescent, offering a clean, floral elegance that remains true to its traditional roots while showcasing a modern, polished execution.

Appearance. Very pale straw to light yellow (2-4 SRM); significantly cloudy with a milky, whitish-yellow glow; features a dense, white, moussy head with excellent retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring bready, grainy wheat malt and faint notes of vanilla. Dominant aromatics include perfumy-lemony coriander and zesty, citrusy orange peel, well-blended with subtle spicy-herbal yeast esters.

Taste. Initial bready and grainy malt flavors transition into a moderate zesty orange fruitiness. Herbal-spicy notes of lemony coriander are balanced and subtle. Low hop bitterness supports a refreshingly crisp, dry finish with no harsh aftertaste.

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