Bira 91 Superfresh Natural White Beer
A refreshing and flavorful Belgian-style wheat beer (Witbier) brewed with citrus and coriander notes, offering low bitterness and a smooth finish. It's marketed as an "all-natural" choice.
Bira 91 Superfresh Natural White is a modern take on the classic Belgian Witbier style, crafted for the Indian palate. It pours a hazy, pale straw colour and is characterized by its low bitterness profile. The flavour is driven by the natural ingredients, primarily wheat malt providing a smooth body, complemented by subtle hints of spicy coriander and tangy citrus, often reminiscent of orange peel. It's designed to be crisp, light, and highly sessionable, making it a popular choice for easy drinking, especially in warmer weather. The "Superfresh Natural" branding emphasizes its use of natural ingredients and its refreshing quality.
