Tasting Notes

Named for the Uncle Who Taught Us to Drink Wit

Wheat beer built on continental pilsner malt and a blend of malted and unmalted white wheat. Orange peel, lemon peel and coriander in the boil complement the banana, clove and pepper of the yeast. Medium-bodied with a subtle lactic snap from German sauermalz.

Appearance
Hazy pale straw. Persistent white head. The wheat haze is intentional.
Aroma
Orange peel up front, coriander behind it. Banana and clove from the yeast. A faint lemon thread.
Flavor
Citrus and coriander across the palate. Banana-clove from the yeast adds depth. A subtle lactic snap at the finish — fresh and gently tart.
Mouthfeel
Medium body, silky. Refreshing.
Pairings
  • Mussels and shellfish
  • Citrus salads
  • Lemon herb chicken
  • Fresh chevre
  • Fruit tarts
Stainless-steel fermentation tanks lined along the back wall of the von C Brewing Co. brewhouse in Norristown PA — bar stools at the foot of the tanks, polished concrete floor reflecting the warm overhead work lights, the place every batch of every beer on the tap list passes through
Process

How it gets to the glass.

  1. 01

    Pilsner malt with malted and unmalted wheat. Orange peel, lemon peel, and coriander in the boil.

  2. 02

    A small acidulated-malt addition drops the mash pH and adds a clean lactic snap — a German technique on a Belgian style.
