Belgian Wit

Belgian Wit Wine Details
Price:

Description: Belgian white ales are very pale in color. Brewed with malted wheat and unmalted wheat barley, and is spiced with coriander and orange peel. Spiciness and yeast flavors are evident. Hopped with Noble Hops with low hop bitterness and little apparent hop flavor. A very refreshing seasonal summertime slammer.

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.
