CAVE: This is the bottled, 4.2% version. The draft Wadesda Witz, 3.3% goes here: https://brewver.com/beers/733176/Wadesda-Witz
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!

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.

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.
