The subtle floral and spice notes of our Witbier are turned up loud by the rich tannins and funk of a Burgundy red wine barrel. Brett aging in the wood dries out the flavours smoothly.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with a creamy small head. Aroma is floral, some citrus, wheat, mild white peppery tones along with some other spiciness. Flavour is citrus, some wheat, spices, mild yeast as well as some slight floral tones to it. Refreshing and quite a nice take on a Witbier.

Cotteridge #3: 20th May 2017. Thanks for ths offering Theydon Bois (Colin). The bottled out a hazy yellow liquid by the time it got to me, made an effort to form a head, but failed. Nose was earthy, yeasty and slightly citrusy in nature. The taste was more interesting with a semi-sourness and red wine/red berries flavours coming through the initial yeasty and citrus notes. Not too sure barrel ageing a Witbier is the way forward, but this was OK.

*Bottel. Unclear yellow in the glass. Funky and earthy beginning. Straw, farmhouse funk, fruity. Grassy and straw, some lactic sourness, dry, tangy, funky. Hints of citrus. Very interesting and round. Nice with lots of flavour.

750ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, diminishing, white head. Yeasty, mildly bretty aroma, hints of grapes, brine, mustard seed, white wine, mushroom risotto. Taste is tart-ish, dry, fruity, minimally tannic, notes of grapefruit, dried apricot, a touch of gin and juniper berry; bretty dryness, a furry, woody red wine touch. Pretty far from a classical Belgian Wit.
