BJCP 2021 - Style 24A Witbier
I love a witbier and I've brewed many. For this one I thought a subtle addition of some Aussie hops late in the boil would add a bit of something different without going over the top. When brewing witbiers I don't attempt to peel or zest the citrus additions, I throw them in whole as this way you will not accidentally add any of the bitter pith.
