Tasting Notes
effervescentherbaldried orange peel
The Church Brewing Company started with two brothers originally from Nova Scotia who moved out west. They’ve since come back home to start up their dream brewery. The Church brews German and Belgian inspired beers in their brewery which used to be an old church. The team worked hard to restore the building and give it a new life as one of Nova Scotia’s most unique breweries!
Tasting Notes
If you’ve ever tried Hoegaarden, Belgian Moon, Rickards White, or Allagash White then you’ll know what style this is. A light and refreshing wheat beer with the addition of coriander and dried curacao orange peel. Pouring a hazy bright yellow-orange and bursting with herbaceous notes of coriander, oranges, stone fruits, and golden malt. The palate is much of the same that leads into a mouthfeel with big carbonation and a light, dry finish. Very refreshing, and great to pair with summer foods such as fish, salad, picnic snacks, and hot dogs.
Method
Belgian-style witbier is brewed using unmalted wheat, sometimes oats and malted barley. Witbiers are spiced with coriander and orange peel. A style that dates back hundreds of years, it fell into relative obscurity until it was revived by a Belgian brewer in the 1960s. This style is currently enjoying a renaissance, especially in the American market. “Wit” means “white.”
