De-listed in Ireland, I guess. Tesco are a bit on-again off-again with their beer selection.

There are plenty of other witbiers out there. That one wouldn't be a million miles from Hoegaarden, St Bernardus Wit or the like.

Tesco stock Weihenstephan now which imho is one of the best ,if not the best, of that genre around so not a bad option if you're looking for a tasty weiss beer!

You won't catch the Bavarians putting any orange peel or coriander in the wheat beer. Belgian wit and German weiss are pretty different sorts of beer.

The label has changed, the brewer may have changed, but Tesco still has an own-brand wheat beer on sale in the UK.

Try Marks and Spencer, they have something similar with orange peel.
