Putting an orange slice in a witbier is not traditional. That touch was invented by a bartender serving Blue Moon Belgian White Ale at the Coors-owned brewpub inside Denver's Coors Field baseball park. A person who worked there told me it happened because they had a bunch of extra oranges behind the bar one weekend and were looking for some way to use them up.
Ha, i would have never known that. Thanks for the interesting little tidbit. I usually throw anywhere between 1 and 3 small slices of orange in there. Makes the beer much more refreshing. Ive done the usual lemon in Hoegaarden as well. Any insight as to where that was created? thanks in advance.
