Belgian Witbier

Belgian witbiers are unfiltered and cloudy, (“wit” means white) which is why they’re creamy and smooth to sip. They feature bright, perfumey aromas from the use of orange peel, coriander and sometimes other spices, while wheat, and traditionally oats, lend bready notes to this beer.

Featured Beer

Blue Moon^® Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Ale

Glassware

A weizen glass is best for this style because the large top allows room for a uniquely fluffy head and the shape locks in aroma. No weizen glass on hand? No problem: Use a jelly or tulip glass instead.

Featured Beer Tasting Notes

Brewed with Valencia orange peel for a rounded citrus sweetness and fresh coriander for floral, peppery spice complexity
The wheat and oats give it a bready balance and creamy mouthfeel

Food Pairings

Cheese: Fresh, mild goat cheeses have a lemony flavor that complements the citrus notes in the beer, while bright coriander serves as a nice contrast to the earthy, grassiness of the cheese. And the creamy mouthfeel of the beer? It adds silkiness to the creamy cheese.
Seafood: The bready, lightly sweet malt and citrus and spice notes of this style add complexity to sushi, fish tacos and light seafood dishes like mussels and ceviche.
