St. Bernardus Tokyo Wit is a solid Belgian witbier offering a straightforward yet pleasing experience. It pours beautifully with a cloudy, golden hue capped by a thick white head, providing a visual treat before the first sip. On the nose, gentle aromas of citrus and coriander come forward, complemented by subtle hints of clove and a floral undertone, adding depth without overpowering the senses.
Taste-wise, St. Bernardus Tokyo Wit delivers a smooth, refreshing profile highlighted by a mild wheat base. Citrus notes are balanced by a gentle spice, creating a harmonious flavor that’s enjoyable sip after sip. While the carbonation feels somewhat muted—giving the beer a flat sensation—it doesn’t detract significantly from the overall drinking experience.
The beer finishes with a pleasant dryness, coupled with a lingering, subtle bitterness that cleanses the palate without overstaying its welcome. While it might not reinvent the style, its nuanced flavor profile makes it a great option for anyone looking for a reliably tasty witbier. Easy-drinking yet layered enough to keep things interesting, this beer might just earn a regular spot in your rotation.
