Seeking: Platinum blonde for summer?
Found!
Vedett Extra White – a youthful Duvel Family member. This platinum beer will prove to be the ultimate in summer refreshment.
Swirl before you pour!
Launched in mid-2008, Vedett Extra White has lost no time in establishing its place as a Witbier to be reckoned with in the beer market. In keeping with the custom of Duvel brewing, Vedett Extra White is refermented in the bottle/keg for several weeks. With this in mind, the consumption of this beer must be preceeded with a swirl of the bottle to mix the ferments on the bottom of the bottle in with the beer.
So white, it is nearly colourless with just a kiss of sunshine to contrast against the bone white head. The nose is a heady mix of soft fruit and soothing spice. But the taste … this is where the happiness happens. Citrusy orange and lemon is rounded with a mildly bitter taste and dry finish.
To conclude – if like us here at Belgian Beer Company, you, too, are counting the days until you see yourself lounging in the long-awaited summer sun with an icy, crisp beer in hand, then make sure that beer is a Vedett Extra White. Delicious. Crisp. Refreshing. Invigorating!
A perfect standoff to sultry summer sensations.
