Störtebeker: Summer Wit - Perfect refreshment on hot days

With the slowly rising temperatures, beer connoisseurs can look forward to the approaching summer, as Störtebeker Braumanufaktur offers the perfect brewing speciality for the coming season with its tangy, aromatic Sommer-Wit. "Whether for a sundowner on the beach, an evening barbecue by the open fire or as a refreshment after a boat trip: with its light body and fruity, spicy flavours, Sommer-Wit is perfect for the activities of the season," says Störtebeker brewer Sebastian Miethe. Behind the Sommer-Wit is an original Belgian beer style: Witbier is a wheat beer variant in which other ingredients and spices are used for brewing in addition to the classic raw materials of malt, hops, yeast and water. Typically, oat flakes are used to create a creamy mouthfeel and strong cloudiness, while coriander and orange peel give the beer a fruity, spicy flavour. "This makes the brewing speciality the ideal accompaniment to spicy dishes or grilled food," Miethe continues.
Summer Wit is now available in a handy 4-pack - perfect for taking to the beach or the lake.

Sommer-Wit is a top-fermented speciality brewed in the Belgian style with an original gravity of 11.9%. Serving temperature 8°C. Alcohol content: 4.7% vol. Wheat and oat flakes give the beer its light, creamy mouthfeel and full body. Overseas spices and the warm fermentation provide fruity, spicy flavours of coriander and pepper as well as the summery, tangy carbon dioxide. Mild hopping with the Ariana variety emphasises the fruity and spicy notes.
