About this product
Bright. Spiced. Effortlessly refreshing.
Overboard is Hope Brewery’s take on the classic Belgian-style witbier, reimagined through a modern Irish craft lens. Brewed in Dublin, this is a beer that leans into freshness and texture — light, naturally hazy, and gently spiced, with a soft wheat body that makes it incredibly refreshing. Designed for easy enjoyment, Overboard is about balance, subtle complexity, and approachability rather than intensity.
This is a beer made for lighter moments. It pours pale and cloudy, releases delicate aromatics, and drinks clean and crisp, making it ideal for warmer days, relaxed gatherings, and food-friendly occasions. For craft beer drinkers in Ireland, Overboard offers a familiar style executed with care, restraint, and clarity.
Why we love it:
Witbier is all about finesse, and Overboard gets it right. Hope Brewery avoids excess spice or sweetness, allowing the beer’s natural ingredients to speak for themselves. The use of wheat gives it body and softness, while gentle citrus and spice add brightness without overpowering the palate.

Tasting notes
Appearance
Very pale straw to light gold, naturally cloudy and unfiltered, with a soft, creamy white head that lingers.
Aroma
Delicate and inviting, with notes of orange peel, lemon zest, and subtle coriander. Soft wheat and gentle yeast character provide depth, while floral hints lift the overall aroma.
Palate
Smooth and refreshing, opening with light citrus flavours and a soft wheat sweetness. Subtle spice follows, never dominant, balanced by a gentle acidity that keeps the beer lively. Low bitterness and a clean, crisp finish make it extremely easy-drinking.
Food pairing
Overboard’s gentle spice and citrus brightness make it a natural match for light, fresh dishes and social dining across Ireland.
Pair it with:
- Seafood, shellfish, or fish tacos
- Light salads, grilled vegetables, or soft cheeses
- Asian-inspired dishes with ginger or lemongrass
- Roast chicken or herbed poultry
- Citrus-based desserts or simple sharing plates
It’s also excellent on its own — especially when you want something refreshing and characterful without weight.
