What is the Nita Norm? Well, in Andy's signature style, there's a fun backstory behind the name. Maybe you've heard of comedian Norm MacDonald - Andy's favorite back in his younger days. Fun fact: Norm once voiced a character called Pigeon in a popular cartoon series...any guesses which one? Turns out, breeding and racing pigeons is a big deal in Belgium, fitting for a Belgian Witbier which is yet another thing Belgians are known for.
This beer follows the traditional Belgian Witbier guidelines. It has a pale colour and slight haziness from the wheat and yeast. It has a medium-light body and an orange-citrusy flavour / aroma from the added orange rind. Although it's creamy, it has a dry crisp, almost tart, finish.

Older 473ml can found in my cellar, pouring a clean, light golden-yellow colour with heavy-lively carbonation, a white cap lasting a while and thick foamy-soapy lacing left. Some nice, still-fresh spices (coriander and more) in the nose with Witbier yeast and the orange peel. The mouthfeel is crisp with a touch of soda water. The taste shows a decent blend of the coriander, yeast and orange peel notes. Gets hazy as it pours and some of the sweetness-fruitiness comes out more at that point. Quite a nicely brewed Witbier that I would have again.
