Adding orange peel to an ale made from a mash of barley and wheat is a traditional Belgian practice, epitomized by the classic, slightly turbid, and very refreshing Witbier/Bière blanche beer style from Flanders. The Weyermann® adaptation of this old technique is the soft, orange-colored, mildly sweet, 4.5- percent No. 55 Orange Summer, with dominant orange aromas and flavors from start to finish. It is made from Weyermann® barley, caramel and wheat malts. On the palate, this well-carbonated brew is velvety-smooth with just a hint of malty toffee.
Drink it well-chilled by itself as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to Risotto, a summer salad with fruit, vanilla ice cream or cheesecake topped with mandarin slices.
Ingredients: Water, Weyermann® barley malt, Weyermann® wheat malt, 1.5% orange peel, hops, yeast
