Closing down September on the deck with this one...lemon zest and spicy crispness...a fresh breeze in the bottle...soft yellow body with a bit of effervescence; thick, consistent head in a Hoegaarden tumbler....smooth palate with a slight drag along the tongue’s sides....balanced yeast and malt...a dry yet developed taste...elusive lemon hints....crisp and refreshing...is there a better summer witte? a few, I’m sure, but these New Yorkers didn’t travel to Belgium for nothing...

does not count  Sep 5, 2008 This is the single worst craft-brewed beer I’ve ever had. Either cold (they recommend) or warm, it is tasteless and unpleasant to drink.
All this is odd since I love their Abbey ale and Three Philosophers.

Sep 3, 2008 only slightly cloudy. yeast nicely portrayed in the nose but still moderate. some weizen characteristics of light fruits and yeast. sizzles on the tongue. not the most complex style, this is certainly not the most complex example. easily drinkable and far from irritating. still, a weak showing from ommegang.

Aug 31, 2008 750 mL bottle. Slightly disappointing. I would still go for Hoegaarden over this. Pours with a great white head, cloudy bright yellow with a heavy scent of yeast and cloves/coriander/orange peel. Very refreshing and light but a little too sour and watery. I’m still a sucker for white beers but this was not up to par.

Aug 31, 2008 An opaque golden brew with a short white head, this wheat beer has just the right amount of citrus notes with a the crisp lightness that suits the genre and especially the summer.

Aug 28, 2008 750ml bottle. Cloudy light straw with a white head. Citrus and spice aromas. Medium body with a big mouthfeel. Slight tanginess. Very refreshing.
