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.

Bottle, mybrewerytap.com. A real surprise at how light this was. Aroma is faint, with coriander just discernible. Has a hazy yellow appearance, with a nice strain of orange peel running throughout the flavour. Very easy drinking and perfect for the summer’s evening I drank this on.

Very pale, slightly hazy yellow with a fairly large white, sudsy head that rapidly fades until the whole thing resembles a Coors Light. Aroma of typical witbier; citrus and coriander, but rather malty and dusty (like the inside of a vaccuum cleaner bag) with a hint of bandaids. The taste is light and malty and spicy with fruity, dusty and yeasty flavors. Light bodied with average carbonation and a bit of a dry, metallic finish. OK session beer, but I’d rather not smell it too much.

Pours a light hay colored yellow, with bright white head, some lacing. The aroma is of wheat, straw, citrus, light spice. Taste is light with notes of wheat, citrus, and light spice. Nice light summer session beer.

750 ml. bottle. Hazy yellow with a white head. Nice bannana and citrus arroma, the taste is similar. A nice all around wit.

Wombata (184) - Kobe, JAPAN - AUG 14, 2011
Bottle. Hazy yellow color. Aroma: Light farmyard hay, lemon (a bit like that from a plastic lemon), flower blossoms. Flavor: dusty straw and lemon. Comment: Light, delicate and refreshing. Well made. Good carbonation provides a pleasant mouth feel.

DanielBrown (2586) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - AUG 13, 2011
Tap at the Euston Tap, London. A plain Wit. Thin, no fizz. Too much lemon and not enough chalk. OK.

queenholly (230) - South Whitley, Indiana, USA - AUG 11, 2011
Bottle. Lemon and spice aroma. Hazy yellow with small quickly dissipating head. Citrus, spice, with a bitter and metallic finish. I think the bitterness may be due to the spice being a little over the top. Light bodied, moderate carbonation.

Draught@Euston Tap, London. Hazy yellow colour, not much head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, some wood and mild hoppy notes. Flavour is very similar with some slight spicy notes as well. Semi mouthdrying, but really pleasant on a hot day.
