Following the substantial demand for “wittekes” or white beer in the mid-Eighties, we decided to develop our own version of this beer style. We use regional hops from Poperinge, as well as ungerminated wheat and several herbs for the specific identity of this cloudy beer.

Draught (Brugs Beertje, Brugge) - Hazy pale golden with a white head. Spicy aroma with hints of lemon. Extremely refreshing taste with a slight soapy hint, but mainly featuring notes of lemon and spice. The finish is spicy and has strong strong citrus elements.

Very cloudy, medium yellow color. Spicy, lemony aroma. Tangy, though nicely balance and fragrant with rich wheat. Very lemony flavor, with rich, tasty wheat. Not overly sweet. Nicely balanced and refreshing, though nothing special.

Small bottle at the brewery tap. An average wheat, brewed, I think, for sake of completeness. But not their strength.

Tasted at the Beer Passion weekend in Antwerp. Looks like a typical wit in the glass and smells grassy and lemony. Tastes like a decent wit has all of the normal characteristics. A little thin though.

On tap at De Geuzen. Pale yellow-orange colour, white head. Aroma is smell of decay, nutmeg, bad hops. Flavour is initially fresh, sour and citric, but turns really bad afterwards. Tastes off. Tried it from different kegs, all were of the same horrible quality.

25 cl. bottle at ’t Brugs Beertje. Light spicy aroma. Hazy golden color (dishwater) with a frothy white head. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Thins a bit. Flavor seems coriander with a light touch of zest. Very nice.
