Witbier (literally "White Beer") is a traditional and centuries-old Belgian style. Known for it's unabashedly unfiltered character with a high amount of yeast in suspension and a permanent haze, this style also features a SUBTLE spicing with coriander seed and bitter curacao orange peel. These additions should always be balanced in these beers. The yeast used is particular to the style, and provides light banana and clove characteristics, and a relatively high attenuation (low residual sugar after fermentation). Ours comes in at 5.4% ABV and an appropriately low 13 IBU's in bitterness. The weather has dealt us a perfect hand as this beer epitomizes Spring and it's crisp freshness complements food and the "big outdoors" particularly well.
