Belgian White Ale, also known as witbier, is a classic Belgian wheat beer known for its hazy, pale appearance and refreshing, aromatic character. This recipe is inspired by the wit bier tradition made famous by Allagash Brewing — the most awarded Belgian-style beer in American craft brewing history.

Brewed with a wheat and oat base for a soft, pillowy body, this beer gets its signature haze from flaked oats, white wheat malt, and our Weizen Ale Yeast — a low-flocculating, fruity and phenolic strain well-suited to Belgian and German wheat beer styles. It contributes expressive banana and subtle spice character without overpowering the beer, letting the citrus, spice additions, and malt character take center stage.
