In the glass
-
Appearance
Pale gold with a soft haze and a modest white head.
-
Nose
Fresh wheat and bread lead, joined by restrained lemon zest and a subtle grain sweetness. Delicate and straightforward rather than intensely aromatic.
-
Palate
Bready wheat and cereal grain form the core, with gentle citrus accents and mild sweetness. Light hop bitterness provides some balance, though the flavors remain relatively subdued.
-
Finish
Soft and gently sweet, with lingering bready grain and a faint citrus impression. Modest persistence, without much bitterness or dryness.
How beer-like is it?
Recognizably beer-like, with familiar wheat, grain, and lightly spiced characteristics. The bready malt character gives it credibility as a wheat beer, although its restrained flavor intensity and slightly sweet finish limit its complexity.

The beer
Package verification (October 22, 2026): the current carrier identifies this beer as Woodland Farms Brewery Non-Alcoholic White and declares less than 0.5% ABV, 90 calories and 12 IBU. The back panel names Woodland Farms Brewery at 306 Route 1 in Kittery, Maine, carries a package UPC, and describes orange peel, coriander and clove notes. The producer page still uses the Witty name, so this evidence is reconciled into the existing tasted record rather than creating a duplicate.
Woodland Farms Witty White offers a straightforward interpretation of nonalcoholic wheat beer, emphasizing familiar grain character over aromatic intensity. Pale gold and softly hazy, it opens with fresh wheat, bread, and a restrained suggestion of lemon zest.
The palate follows with bready cereal notes, gentle citrus, and a touch of sweetness. Light hop bitterness lends some balance, but the overall expression remains soft and understated. A gently sweet, grain-driven finish provides continuity, though persistence and complexity are modest.
Witty White succeeds in delivering a recognizable wheat-beer experience without excessive sweetness or distracting off-flavors. Its greatest strength is its easy-drinking character; its principal limitation is a lack of depth, particularly through the midpalate and finish.
Good. A pleasant, approachable nonalcoholic wheat beer with authentic grain character and restrained citrus. Enjoyable and stylistically recognizable, if ultimately a little simple.

Method Undeclared
Research notes
The producer calls Witty a non-alcoholic wheat beer and declares less than 0.5%. Its nutrition label lists water, barley, wheat, orange peel, coriander seed, yeast and hops; one 16 fl oz serving contains 90 calories, 19 g carbohydrate and 0 g sugar. A 2022 interview with Woodland Farms co-founder Patrick Rowan describes maltose-negative yeast and a special mash profile for the brewery's non-alcoholic range. That is secondary, brand-level evidence, not a Witty-specific primary process declaration; verified remains no.
