Ommegang shows again why its one of my favorite brewers. Pours a hazy yellow with small white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander, apples and bannana. Very light body that makes the beer exremely drinkable. Spices come through nicely. All around great witte.

Pours from the 12oz bottle a hazy light yellow color with almost no head. Very active carbonation...lots of bubble in the murky haze. Aroma is of lemon peel. 1st sip brings a crisp, tart snap of lemon, with a slight hint of pepper in the background. The citrus is totally dominant. Mouthfeel is light & crisp, and this is highly drinkable. Very good beer. i’m drinking it on one of the coldest night so far this winter, i’ll bet it’s even better on a hot summer day!

Poured slightly hazy and light golden. A super thin ring of white foam appeared with tiny flecks of lace. The aroma was spice, pepper and citrus. The flavor had some dry wheat and lots of lemon. A bit of spice cut through, but not much in terms of yeast. The mouthfeel was thin and light, a refreshing beer that lacked much in terms of complexity.

( 750ml bottle) pours cloudy yellow, nice bubbles on top. Aroma of honey, florals, spices. Taste of nutmeg, honey, with a dry well carbonated finish.

Overall - it works. But it looks too much like a superbrew (completely clear golden), the taste hits you as weak at first - but goes into this nice hoppy wheat flavor. Acidic, and not really needing that lemon. Finishes lcean.

12 oz bottle from TC Craft. Pale yellow pour, slight white head. Aroma is slight, notes of citrus, yeast, wheat. Flavor is more of the same with a smooth clean finish.

From a 750 ml corked and caged bottle this poured a hazy golden yellow color with a good sized white head that faded quickly and left moderate lacing . The nose is a sweet citrus aroma showing lemon and orange peel. Good carbonation with a lively mouthfeel. The flavors are somewhat spicy pepper and yeast. The finish is spicy as well and dry. Good rendition of this style.
