A perennial favorite here at Tröegs amongst co-workers and fans alike, our Belgian-style Witbier (or “white ale”) features a blend of wheat, oats, and malted barley along with spices, Belgian yeast and other juju to create a complex yet refreshing flavor. With a dense haze and foamy white head, our Witbier incorporates subtle tartness and a delicate orange aroma to complement the aromatic spices and distinctive LaChouffe yeast. An excellent summertime quaffing delight, Scratch #196 finishes dry and crisp.

9/5...brewery draft. Pours cloudy hazy yellow with good ring of white foam. Wheaty, citrus nose. Twisty wit flavor - the wheat, peels come through. Peppery. Oats. Robust wit flavors. Quite good.
