Wicked Elf Witbier

ABV = 5.0%

This is The Little Brewing Company’s version of a Belgian White Ale, a style brewed by monks in the Middle Ages and only recently revived. This beer is made using 50/50 wheat and barley malts and is ‘bottle conditioned’.

Overall, this is a thirst-quenching summer ale.

Colour and appearance:
Pale/lemon with a cloudy appearance from wheat and yeast.

Aroma:
Wheat, barley malt, curacao (bitter orange peel) and coriander, with a delicate floral hop aroma.

Flavour:
A light ale, with a lovely complexity of malt, citrus and spicy flavours, balanced with a refreshing bitterness from the hops and curacao.

Suggested food match:
A versatile beer that matches well with many foods but is particularly excellent with seafoods, especially mussels prepeared using the beer, and Thai cuisine. Also matches beautifully with citrus-based (lemon/lime/orange) desserts.
