Brasserie de la Senne is tackling a classic: don't say ‘witbier’ anymore, say WITZ! It was missing from our range and from the local craft beer scene: a light, 100% organic Brussels wheat beer that contains no spices! Shocking, don't you think? The fact is that historically, and contrary to popular belief, Belgian wheat beers didn't contain any.
Our wheat beer is called WITZ, and has a straw-blonde color. It has the characteristic haze of this beer style, and its head is white and creamy. The emphasis is on the freshness of the wheat and the roundness of the oats. It develops very floral notes (white fruit tree blossoms) and a slightly lemony and green currant fruitiness. It has, as expected, very little bitterness, but a slight, very refreshing acidity. Liquid spring, in short!

Easygoing stuff. Pleasant pale baicuits and wheat flakes, soft yeast expression, slight minerality, mild bitter straw. Very drinkable.

Un arco olfattivo dominato dal frumento. La finezza olfattiva è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato arrivano note di miele, frumento, frutta secca e agrumi.

(Draft at Muted Horn, Berlin, 16 July 2025) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, herbal nose with notes of grass, citrus, herbs, coriander and orange peel. Fruity, herbal taste with bread, citrus, grass, coriander and a mild herbal/citric bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Small, quite regular snowwhite head over pale yellow beer with a greenish sheen. Spicy nose, wheat, bit weyish. Very slight wheatacidity, again spicey, and probably drier than most wits. Creamy feel, well carbonated to spritzy, wheatslick. Meritorious in the world of corianderboil wits.

4.2% Witz at the source. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fragrant, lemon, orange, fragrant, floral, coriander seeds, woodruff and leather. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, pleasing bitterness, minerality, spice, cereal, nuttiness, hay, straw, cracker, quite green, damp herbs and floury wheat bread with a drying finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Summer crusher with some depth.

Witz Bio 4.2%. Bit hazy light golden. Sweet wheat, doughy, a hint of citrus zest, soft spices, green leaves. Medium sweet, light bitter. Doughy wheat body. Bit bad but not my favorite style.

As Witz 4.2%. On tap at Brasserie de la Senne, Brussels, Friday 13th June 2025. Pours hazy yellow/gold, with a mid sized white head. A very nice Wit, however the above seems variable looking at other ratings, certainly at anywhere between 3%+ - 4.2%, perhaps should consider a separate rating. Anyway back to the beer, really good, really refreshing, really moreish. Lovely drop.
