Belgian Wit (White) Bier Brewcraft Premium Beer Ingredients Kit
Detailed Description
Belgian Wit (White) Bier Brewcraft Premium Beer Ingredients Kit
This Belgian beer style which was extinct has been resurrected in the US and in Belgium, and now enjoys huge popularity throughout the world. Classically very pale in color, hazy to the point of being nearly opaque from protein, yeast and even some unconverted starch, this is a unique beer style. Unmalted wheat and judicious use of bitter orange peel, coriander and other spices such as peppercorns, grains of paradise and even juniper berries give this beer it's amazing flavor and aroma.
Belgian Wit goes by many names, all variations of the term “White Beer”. In French it is called “Biere Blance”, while the Flemish name is Wit or Witbier. Wit is a light, refreshing traditional beer style that became extinct with the closing of the last Wit bier brewery in Belgium in the 1950’s, only to be resurrected by Pierre Celis, first in Belgium then later in Texas. Belgian Wit brewers use un-malted and malted wheat which produce a beer with light to medium body, flavours of spice, champagne-like yeast and wheat, and a zesty orange-fruity finish. It has a clean crisp profile, low hop bitterness and high carbonation with a large white head. Wit is hazy due to the proteins from the wheat, and from suspended yeast. An excellent choice for a warm summer evening, or to accompany Sunday Brunch.
