May 23, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008Pale yellow, low carbonation. Very light and fruity. Mild with a softening by the wheat. A bit too mild for me. I do taste a bit of lemon zest.

May 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy light golden color with a large white head. Aroma of wheat and lemon, some spices. Flavor is a little sweet with a bit of bitterness and a touch of tart. Solid.

May 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours an excellent translucent honey lemon orange with a fairly decent foamy head. Aromas typical of Belgian wheats; banana, yeast, some sweeter style hops. Mouthfeel is somewhat heavier in style compared to say Hoegaarden (which I consider the quintessential Belgian White), but has some great biting citrus notes, effervescence, and a pleasant, not overly intense maltiness. Quite a good beer really, but just "ho-hum." There’s better, there’s worse.

May 7, 2008 more transparent than usual for a belgian white- yellowish coloration. decent head. nice wheat aroma with some citrus, not quite as aggressive as hoegaarden or hacker pschorr. very nice, smooth flavor, but a little more watery than the elite beers of this style. still very refreshing, really tasty.

Impression: Good fruity aroma. Good hazy color and depth. Head is lacking but haziness is there. Banana overtones, but watery finish. Visually in keeping with the style, but nothing particularly special here. Taste is good, but watery finish distracts from the overall effect. Palate is thin, watery, and diminishing.
Aroma: 8 out of 10
Visuals: 4 out of 5
Taste: 8 out of 10
Palate: 3 out of 5
Overall: 14 out of 20 I liked the flavor of what was there, but there was not enough ‘there’ there. Washed out watery undertone disrupts the effects of this beer. Not bad, but not great like other Ommegangs.

Apr 18, 2008 750 bottle. Pleasant fruity aroma. Simple. Lemon and oranges. Sweeter malted wheat and a touch of cinnamon. Pours bright, clear yellow with a thin white head. Again... simple, but inoffensive flavor. Malted wheat, lemon zest. Nicely balanced between sweet and tart. Refreshing. Medium bodied with mouth filling carbonation.
