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.

Decent witbiere. Has a startlingly clear appearance with slight white head. Bready, yeasty aroma. A very light fruitiness in the palate but mostly phenolic. Finishes slightly tart. Very carbonated.

Pours with a large tight white head that leaves good lacing covering a vibrant, chill hazed yellow body. Aroma of wheat, coriander and a slight bit of sweet orange peel. Taste is spicey, with classic Ommegang yeast characteristics. Watery mouthfeel with light bubbles.

bottle. Pours a crisp clear yellow, half inch of fizzy, chunky foam that clears pretty quick. Aromas of sweet wheat muffins and some light citric sharpness. Flavor starts with some lemon citrus sharpness, moves into a nice blend of yeasty spiciness and grainy wheat maltiness. Nice balance. Very crisp and light on the palate, very smooth finish.

Pours a cloudy golden with a nice white head. Crisp and lighter body with smooth fruity flavor and nice refreshing finish.

Pours a cloudy lemon with a thick white head. Lot’s of lemon and bread aroma. Nice and light, not too sweet and very drinkable.

750 ml bottle purchased at Specs Liquors in Houston, TX. Pour is hazed golden with a two inch snow white head. A bunch of carbonation bubbles rise to the top of the glass. Aroma of citrus lemon and earthy funky yeastiness. Really engaging nose, soft, yet very complex. Taste is the sweet lemon and orange citrus. Wheat texture takes over in the middle. Finish is the spicy funky yeastiness. Nice transition of flavors. Palate seemed more like a Saison than a Wit, but really worked for this beer. Aftertaste lingers with a bit of sour lemon peel. Nice one.
