This witbier is a bit twisted! We spiced it with super citrusy Indian coriander seeds and Amarillo hops late in the boil AND slightly soured it to highlight the pungent citrus character. A Belgian witbier yeast strain produced gentle fruitiness and phenolics to make it even more fragrant. This easy sipper is just perfect company for the rare hot summer days.

Bottle brought back from Oulu. Aroma has citrus and cloves with a hoppy streak. Hazy-opaque light gold. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Initial citrus hit with a chewy herbal element. Dry. Slightly metallic edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Big Wit. Like me. Interesting example of a style I normally find a tad dull.
