Ballast Point White

Ballast Point White Wine Details
Price:

Description: Ballast Point White is a Belgian Wheat Beer spiced with coriander, orange peel and curacao. This authentic "Wit" beer is characterized by its cloudy appearance produced by the unmalted wheat and oats used in the recipe. The unique Belgian yeast also lends its own flavor, creating a crisp refreshing beer with a complex fullness.

Varietal Definition
White/Wit Beer:
Wit beer is a style of flavored wheat. It is distinctly Belgian in origin and is still very closely associated with this low land country. Wits employ a proportion of unmalted wheat in the mash but also have flavor added in the form of curaƧao, orange peel and coriander, among other ingredients. Their appearance is marked by a hazy white precipitate and these beers generally have some sedimentation.
