The perfect blend of spice is found in Optimal Wit. This Belgian style witbier is crisp & citrusy with layers of flavor that evolve in the glass. It is brewed with Virginia wheat, Spanish orange peels & coriander. Grains of Paradise give a subtle, peppery finish. It tastes like Sunshine & Happiness!
11.5° OG, 2°FG.

Can from the lcbo slightly hazy pale yellow, with barley any head. Aroma is soft pale malted wheat, and some nice coriander. Nice mouthfeel solid carb. Finish is low on the bitterness scale, and a lovely blend of wheat and coriander and light citrus at the end. It looks terrible but turned out to taste very good.

Almost clear pale yellow colour, moderate sized dense ivory-like white head; aroma and taste of clove, some citrusy, banana and bready notes, maybe minimal coriander (but rather no coriander at all); well, it tastes and smells rathet like a german hefeweizen than a belgian witbier, but otherwise it is quite ok

Burk från SB. Lätt disig ljusgul vätska med högt vitt skum. Tillutseende, doft och smak en stiltypisk wit. Lätt kropp, aningen syrlig, vete, jäst, citrus, vitt bröd, kryddor, banan, lätt pepprig beska. Uppfriskande och lättdrucken. Kanske lite blek men annars en trevlig wit.
