Copperline Witbier: Belgian yeast and a coriander note
We've had Copperline Witbier on the floor for three days and it's already down to eight cases. That's unusual for a style that usually builds slowly through word-of-mouth, but this one caught on immediately.
What's in the glass
Pours cloudy pale gold with a white head that sticks around. The aroma is classic Belgian wit—orange peel, coriander, a little wheaty sweetness. First sip is soft and refreshing, low bitterness (16 IBU according to the label), with that signature spice finish that doesn't overpower.
It's 4.8% ABV, so it's easy to drink two without regretting the third.
Why it's moving
We positioned it next to Highwater Hefeweizen in cooler one, and customers picking up the Hefeweizen keep grabbing a four-pack of Copperline to compare. The brewer uses a traditional Belgian yeast strain, and you can taste it—there's a slight funk underneath the citrus that makes it more interesting than your standard summer wheat.
One customer yesterday said it reminded her of a beer she had in Brussels. I didn't ask which one, but I'll take that as a win.
Stock note
We have enough inventory through next week, but if the current pace holds, we'll need to reorder by Friday. The distributor's been reliable with this one, so no panic yet.
Claim your four-pack before the weekend rush wipes us out. Cooler one, top shelf, right side. You'll see the copper label.
