Uncle Dog

Uncle Dog — American Witbier — Orso Verde

Uncle Dog is a white beer unlike the usual, crafted by Orso Verde, an artisanal brewery from Varese (Lombardy), that immediately brings the mind to America. A drink born from a refined mix of barley malt, wheat, and American hops: the explosion of citrus, floral, and exotic fruit aromas that results is simply enchanting. A slight acidic tone at the finish closes the sip with a good refreshing power.

The Witbier reinterpreted with American hops

Uncle Dog reinterprets the Belgian white beer style through the lens of American hopping. While traditional Witbiers mainly rely on spices (coriander and orange peel) to create aromatic complexity, Uncle Dog uses American hops with an explosive character to achieve a fresh, fruity, and decidedly contemporary aromatic profile.
