Belgian Witbier
Belgian white ales are very pale in color and are
brewed using unmalted wheat and malted barley and are spiced
with coriander and orange peel. Coriander and light orange peel
aroma should be perceived. Phenolic spiciness and yeast flavors
may be evident at mild levels. These beers are traditionally
bottle conditioned and served cloudy. An unfiltered nearly
opaque haze should be part of the appearance. The style is
further characterized by the use of noble-type hops to achieve a
low hop bitterness and little to no apparent hop flavor. This
beer has low to medium body, no diacetyl, and a low to medium
fruity-ester level. Mild acidity is appropriate. Brewer may
indicate on the bottle whether the yeast should be intentionally
roused or if they prefer that the entry be poured as quietly as
possible.
