On tap at Cole’s in Buffalo. Cloudy ochre with slight head and nice lacing. Yeasty bread aroma, nice slightly citrusy yeasty wheat flavour. Nice aftertaste

At the Red Lion. For a style I’m not very fond of I quite enjoyed this. Most important not watery and no soapy flavor. Nice, not too sour, lemon flavor that was a bit unusual. Serving: Bottle

Ommegang Witte pours out a bright hazy yellow with a thick two finger white, frothy head. A nicely carbonated body with some cloudy yeast in the body. The nose is floral and citric with a light yeast and some mild sweetness. The middle has a sweet, wheaty malt with a tart lemon and yeast esters. The finish has a bit of a light grassy hop and a yeast presence including the tart citrus fruit. A bit of the tartness is tasting kind of like light barnyard funk. The mouthfeel is smooth and softly carbonated with a medium body. Overall, a pretty good wit.

A: Cloudy yellow body with a massive white head... lots of lacing... S: Lots of corriander and wheat aromas ... some citrus is certainly present as well... T: Nice earthy wheat and spice combination with hints of refreshing citrus tones ... makes me thing of a grassy field before a good cutting... M: Light bodied... refreshing. invigorating.. O: Refreshing for sure... nothing fancy here, just a solid witbier... spring is almost here... stock up on your witbiers!!

750ml Bottle, poured a hazy yellow. aroma is of yeast and citrus. Taste has some subtle spice flavors and citrus.

Hazy yellow. Nice spice aroma but not too overpowering. Tastes a bit skewed- the student flavors not quite blending. Hard mouthfeel.

12oz bottle - pours clear pale yellow with quickly diminishing head and no lacing. Nose yeast and corn/cardboard. Aroma is citrus fruit, wheat and that pilsner hop. Taste is sweet and tart. Incredibly light and burp-y. Hands down, my least favorite Ommegang beer and I love Ommegang. I now know why I’ve put off trying this beer for so long - don’t like the style.

750mL bottle, split many ways, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander, hay, orange zest and champagne. Flavour is lightly citric with various spices (including coriander and lavender), and wheat. Smooth, gentle, and unobtrusive.

Mild zesty lemon aroma. Creamy pillowy head. A bright hazy yellow with sediment floating around. Lemon tartness. with clean finish. Very refreshing. This is one for the summer time for sure.
