Rickard’s Original White is a refreshing, medium-bodied, Belgian-style wheat ale spiced with a perfect combination of fresh coriander and orange peel for a uniquely complex taste and uncommonly smooth velvety finish.

On Friday the 27th, OPUS BAR hosted the VIP Launch of Rickard’s Original White.

The original invite:

Summer Nights Beckon…

Some more information about the beer:

Considered a “Belgian White”, Rickard’s Original White is a style of beer that is unfiltered-creating its light opaque appearance.

The result of this process is a smoothness and full body like no other.

His work is receiving ongoing international attention in The Economist, the Wall Street Journal, Nature, and the BBC – why has this economist, with an insatiable curiosity and passion for data, become such a media lightning rod?
