COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ommegang Witte, a traditional Belgian-style wheat ale with whispers of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. Soft and seductive, Ommegang Witte is this summer's version of spicy intrigue and refreshing flavor.

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.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - NOV 27, 2009
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.

zdk (1609) - New York, New York, USA - NOV 23, 2009
On tap. Hazy yellow/amber. Sweet scent of banana, cloves, cinnamon and spice. A solid brew that’s on par with some of the actual belgian ales.

RickTStiles (504) - Rochester, New York, USA - NOV 22, 2009
Pours a hazy yellow with a frothy but quickly dissappearing head. Aroma is crisp citrus and floral with a slight chemical note and maybe some metal. Sweet nose with mild breadyness and lemon candy. finishes bittersweet and crisp. Overall a very nice beer but for this style, Duvel is still the best.

obguthr (2385) - Poquoson, Virginia, USA - NOV 15, 2009
Weak banana aroma. Cloudy yellow with fine suspended particles and a thick white head. Floral lemon flavor, fizzy mouthfeel. Some grassy notes present. Alcohol content deceptive. Fairly unique, and not very strong.

Poured quite cloudy, light straw color with thin white head. Grapefruit/fruit nose. Flavor is tart and spicy, clean finish, crisp and dry. Light on the tongue. Nice brew
