The Basics

Style - Belgian Witbier

ABV - 5.0%

Description

Traditional Belgian witbier character meets juicy mango in this refreshing, fruit-forward twist on a classic style.

tHE NAME

The name is a reference to the mango drive we have done at Bay 13 and Threefold in years past. Essentially we would ask members of the community to bring in their extra mangoes to either location and we’d trade them a beer or a coffee. The mangoes would then be used in the kitchen, the bar or we would add a bunch to the beer.

 

BEER FACT

A Belgian Witbier, also known as a witte, is a top fermented wheat beer originating in Belgium and the Netherlands. The style name translates to “white beer” referencing its hazy, almost white appearance when cold. These beers are known for their creamy mouthfeel, citrusy aroma, and slightly sour taste.

The Ingredients

  • Malts: Un-malted white wheat, Old World Pilsner Malt, Flaked Oats, and Acidulated Malts

  • Hops: Perle and UK Goldings

  • Yeast: Lallemand Belgian Wit Yeast

The Pairings

seafood and light proteins, spicy and savory dishes, salads and light fare, chicken, cheeses (mild, soft cheeses), brunch, citrusy desserts or spiced pastries.
