On a quest to brew a witbier chock full of flavor, Namaste White digs deep into our culinary roots using ingredients of dried organic orange slices, fresh-cut lemongrass, peppercorns and a bit of coriander for a refreshing and sessionable experience.
“A twist on the usual witbier - complex in its aroma, simultaneously refreshing and contemplative.” - Paste
With notes of clove and subtle coriander, you'll find flavors of citrus and sweet malt, with a slightly spicy finish for a zesty mouthfeel.
Originally brewed in tribute to our friends at 3 Fonteinen Brewery in Belgium after a devastating setback to their business in 2009, Namaste White is a witbier bursting with good karma.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a lasting thin white head and some spotty lacing. Tastes and smells of lemon, wheat, orange peel and spice. Light bodied, slightly sweet and a nice dry finish. Outstanding example of this style; especially after reviewing the Sam Adams version a moment ago.

Pale hazy blond colour, white head. Aroma of malts, hop, grass, some citrus, spicy coriander. Hoppy flavour, lemongrass, light sour touch, quite sweet. Undercarbonated, light bitter, light astringent finish.

Thanks to Travlr for sharing this one. 75 cl. bottle sampled. Quite curious & have been for a long time to try DFH. This is witbier made with dried orange slices, fresh cut lemongrass and some coriander so not too far from the original definition of the style safe for perhaps the lemongrass. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Smells of sweet fluffy wheat, herbs, coriander, bitter herbs, lemon and sweet floral. Taste is soft fluffy wheat, fluffy, airy, lemongrass, lemon, soft yeast & fruits, floral with some bitter herbs, some citrus, spices in the back. Lovely fitting higher carb. airy – quite a fine witbeer. One of the finer ones I have had. Does feel a bit lacking because with all the back-story, interesting ingredient etc. you get a bit more pumped up & expect more. Without that, I would be less interested in trying this but more exited afterwards. Still lovely.

75cl bottle sample @ RBBWG 2013, courtesy of Travlr. Dorée, foin léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme est bien parfumé alternant citronnelle, écorce d’orange, coriandre, grains et levure. Palais reste dans le style belge blanche, avec ici une belle part venant de cette citronnelle et ce côté presque de riz soufflé ainsi que un ajout orangé. Le tout est couronné par une fine pointe d’épice; coriandre pour une bière facile à boire et rafraichissante. Fini reste sec, grains et fruité. Reste en définitif une belle interprétation du style avec un petit qcq chose en plus.

19/I/13 - 75cl bottle @ RBBWG 2013 - BB: n/a (2013-48) Thanks to Travlr for sharing the bottle!
Clear pale yellow beer, creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit chocolaty, citrus, some chloride, bit sweet, floral and soapy notes. MF: soft carbon, light body, feels watery. Taste: citrus, lots of coriander, citrus, pretty bitter, bit medicinal almost. Aftertaste: bitter, little grassy, lots of coriander, citrus, bit chemical, very watery overall. Not your best wit and overdone on the coriander I think.
