Belgian White Ale
Singing Boys Brewing's Abundant Fields Organic Witbier is a Belgian style White Ale, brewed with Wheat malt, coriander and bitter orange peels.
This style is a refreshing, elegant, tasty, moderate-strength wheat-based ale. A 400-year-old beer style that died out in the 1950s; it was later revived by Pierre Celis at Hoegaarden, and has grown steadily in popularity over time. The beer tends to be fragile and does not age well, so younger, fresher, properly handled examples are most desirable. Sometimes served with an orange or lemon slice.
