We always love to hear the stories of why certain beers were brewed, it really brings the beer to life and makes is something more than just a beverage. This beer from Atrium was dreamed up during the time Val and Paula were first setting up their brewery.
They wanted a tasty beer that they could drink while still doing the work setting up, and a witbier was the chosen weapon of choice. It is a pretty typical Belgian Wit. As well as the obligatory coriander, they’ve also added clementine peel to this beer (hence the name!)
A refreshingly light body and good level of carbonation make this beer a perfect warm weather tipple. A firm citrus character combines with the banana and spicy yeast notes for a pleasant lingering aftertaste.
