Wit beer (Belgian), la biere blanche (French) or white beer is a top-fermented ale brewed with a barley-wheat blend. Wit beer descends from medieval beers that were brewed with “gruit,” a blend of spices and other plants, rather
hops. Abby Brewing captures the spirit and flavor of the Belgian wheat style beer with Monks’ Wit Ale, a refreshing ale with a multi-dimensional flavor profile.
The refreshing blend of spiciness and fruitiness make Monks’ Wit Ale an ideal beer for summer (although it is available year-round).
Monks’ Wit Ale has a complex yeast character that lends a robust profile that accentuates the imported coriander, tangy orange peel and other spices. The pale malt provides a sweet, bready quality, and the wheat and oats lend a creamy taste and velvety elegance. The imported hops and spices give a clean, dry finish to this light, refreshing ale.
The hop blend includes Czech Saaz and British Fuggle. Grains include White Wheat Malt as well as unmalted flaked Soft Red Wheat and oats, which give the ale a creamy taste.
Monks’ Wit Ale incorporates traditional Indian coriander, Spanish sweet orange peel, bitter orange peel and other mild spices.

Monks’ Wit Ale es una descendiente de la cerveza elaborada en la edad media, siendo muy popular en esa época. Hoy en día es elaborada con lúpulos, siendo una cerveza muy refrescante para esos días de calor.
