Witbier Market Overview

• Witbier, or white beer, is a genre of the wheat beer family from Belgium. Witbiers are typically a pale, cloudy beer. Witbier is readily identified with refreshing, delicate flavours and a thin body with mild citrusy-fruity and slightly tart or sour qualities, and is pleasing in all seasons. It is classically served in a clear glass without a garnish to make the untarnished subtle flavours shine.
• The haze comes from the high percentage of wheat used in the brewing process. Unmalted wheat and a portion of malted barley, with or without some oats in the grain bill, contributes to the bready body of the beer as well as its higher ABV (around 5%).
• Witbiers are flavoured with coriander and orange peel for a complementary bitterness and a nose of citrus zest; the spice should not overpower the bready and very bright wheat notes.
