Witbier

Canard Brewing Co. Products

A Witbier is one of the many white (wit) beer styles originating from Leuven, in the Flemish region of Belgium. It is recognized for its cloudy pale, lightly hoppy appearance that incorporates spices to accentuate its yeasty character.

At Canard, our Witbier has a pale straw colour and slightly hazy rom the yeast and wheat malt with a refreshingly bright citrus and lemon coriander nose. “Zesty” is one word to summarize this silky, fruity, creamy, effervescent brew. When drunk fresh, it is refreshingly light with a smooth finish with no bitter aftertaste.

COMPATIBLE GLASSES

Wheat beer glasses are designed especially for refreshing, light, creamy wheat beers. Designed with a large bowl and a narrow mouth and base. The narrow base and sudden curve lets the beer slosh during the tilting of the glass, thus delivering more aroma through. The glass’ large center is designed to concentrate and capture the aromas, while the narrow mouth is intended to enhance the acidity and sweetness of the wheat malt.

Compatible Glasses

Pilsner glasses are tall, skinny, with a slight outward curve on the mouth. This shape will enhance the flavour and aroma by keeping the foam head intact. This glass is the perfect medium to showcase colour and carbonation of the beer.

Compatible Glasses

Teku is a glass designed by two Italian beer experts, Teo Musso and Lorenzo “Kuaska” Dabove (from whom the name “Teku” was derived), the Teku glass is designed to be the best all-rounder glass for any beer style. The long stem helps to keep the beers at optimal temperatures, while the design of the glass is intended to capture and release the beer aromas via the outward curve. Teku is appropriate for a wide variety of styles, but its design really shines especially for sour beers and strongly aromatic beers.

Compatible Glasses

The Riesling glass is perfect for balancing tha acidity and residual fruit-forward wines. It is designed with a small rim to provide equilibrium on the sweet and sour. Coincidentally, the acidic yeast aroma and flavours, and the sweet fruit esters from Wheat Beers, also becomes balanced in the Riesling Glass. Best used for Witbier, Weissbier, Hefeweizen.

Compatible Glasses

White wine glasses are generally designed to be a smaller bowled glasses. The intention of the design is to preserve floral aromas, maintain cooler temperature, and to express more of the acidic flavour notes. The smaller bowl also delivers more aromas (even at cooler temperatures) due to proximity to the nose. It is best used for easy-drinking, light, blonde beers, like wheat beers and kölsch.
