This refreshing Witbier captures the essence of summer with a vibrant twist on tradition. Replacing classic orange peel with kaffir lime leaves, it offers an intense, aromatic profile that leads with bright, zesty lime oil and fragrant herbal notes. The base provides a soft, bready backdrop of wheat, while the appearance is classically pale and hazy. On the palate, the kaffir lime integrates seamlessly with a light honey-like sweetness and subtle peppery yeast esters. Effervescent and crisp, it finishes dry with a lingering citrus freshness, making it a quintessential terrace companion that balances spice and grain with effortless drinkability.

Taste.Initial impression is crisp and refreshing. Soft bready malt and grainy wheat flavors are complemented by a prominent, zesty kaffir lime citrus note. Subtle herbal spiciness and low peppery esters. Low hop bitterness provides just enough balance. Clean, dry finish with a lingering lime-leaf zestiness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the wheat. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent feel. No alcohol warmth; exceptionally refreshing and free of astringency.
