Belgium Wit Beer: Two weeks in the bottle – September 14, 2006
After almost two weeks in the bottle, I decide to give my first batch of Belgium Wit beer a try. This beer was very green (young) but was tasty. The beer was lightly carbonated but had poor head retention. It had good flavor without any detectable bitterness. This belgium Wit was only supposed to have 11 IBUs and biterness only becomes detectable by the Human palate at 10 IBUS.
There was very little sedimentation in the bottom of the bottom ( unlike the American Amber Ale of last). This fact will be pleasant when it comes to pouring but I am concerned that there may not be enough residual yeast to continue the carbonation.
I will let this beer mature and carbonate for another couple of weeks before letting the family and friends try it.
