Description
Discover the authentic essence of Belgian brewing tradition with St. Bernardus Wit, a classic witbier crafted in collaboration with the legendary Master Brewer Pierre Celis, known for his pioneering work with Hoegaarden and Celis White. This wheat beer stands out with its characteristic cloudy appearance, a testament to its traditional brewing process and bottle conditioning. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 5.5% and a gentle bitterness measure of 10 IBU, this witbier offers a refreshing balance that is mild on the palate yet rich in flavor. Expect delightful notes typical of a traditional witbier, such as subtle hints of citrus peel and coriander, which lend a bright, zesty character to each sip. Its smooth, creamy mouthfeel is complemented by a lightly effervescent finish, creating a beer that's both refreshing and satisfying. Ideal for warm days, this wheat beer effortlessly quenches thirst while inviting contemplation of its nuanced, yeast-driven flavors. When it comes to serving, St. Bernardus Wit reveals its finest qualities when chilled to a temperature between 4 to 6 degrees Celsius (39 to 43 degrees Fahrenheit). Pour it into a traditional tulip glass to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and lively carbonation. The tulip shape not only showcases the beer's cloudy, golden hue but also concentrates its aromas, enhancing your tasting experience. This witbier pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its versatile flavor profile complements light salads, seafood, and mild cheeses. For those seeking a more adventurous pairing, try it alongside spicy Asian cuisine, where its citrus and spice notes can harmonize with the heat, offering a refreshing balance. Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or a curious newcomer, St. Bernardus Wit provides an authentic taste of Belgian brewing heritage, perfect for savoring on any occasion.

★★★★☆ Amy G.
and for wheat beer it's way smoother than Blue Moon, bit more citrusy too. Drank these with fish tacos and they worked well.

Uncle Tom put me onto this and I owe him one now. Real nice after mowing the lawn.
Store response
Glad your uncle steered you right on the St Bernardus Wit. If you ever want to branch out, Hoegaarden is a similar pick.

Solid wit. Four bottles vanished at poker night, good sign. Wish it came in a bigger pack honestly.
Store response
The St Bernardus Wit tends to go fast in a group. Next time you could check out Blanche de Bruxelles too.
