May 25, 2009 750mL bottle. Poured hazy lighter golden with a short cap of white head.. some light sediment in there. The aroma picked up bright wheat and coriander over some pale malts.. brought in a touch of grass on the back. The flavor had wheat and pale malts at the core with earth, orage zest, and spicy, peppery yeast around.. dry coriander and more pepper rode through the finish.. well-balanced. Light-medium bodied on the palate with a nice tangy and refreshing impression.. really dried out on the finish. Solid stuff.

May 23, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Pours a thin head over a pale yellow, (SRM 5) clear body......nose of light Belgian funk, mildly yeasty, bready and minimal spice.....taste is coriander, slight citrus, bit of apple, wheat....mouth feel medium light, carbonation light. Light refreshing after a hot mid western hike.

May 19, 2009 Yellow golden pour, big white head, active carbonation. Aroma of spices and wheat. Flavor is very crisp and refreshing. usual wit-iness to it, some spice, some bubble gum, etc. Pretty nice, flavorful alternative to the typical crappy summertime mass produced wheat beer.

May 7, 2009 This is crisp and refreshing - with that belgian characteristic I’ve really come to enjoy. Seems aggressively carbonated for what I think of as a wheat beer, but that helps the lightness. I get the tart lemon on the taste and it’s nice.

May 6, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow, with white head. citrus, lemon peel, banana, coriander, and wheat. Pretty basic and uninteresting. Mediocre at best.

May 5, 2009 Pours a very pale straw yellow with a dense thick white head.
Smells of Belgian yeast and lemon zest.
Tastes as it smells. Very crisp, highly carbonated, and lots of lemony goodness.
This witbier lacks creativity, but is strong in the basic flavors and is as solid as a witbier can be.
Mouthfeel is thin and bubbly.

May 1, 2009 Sampled at a tasting. The aroma was sweet wheat with notes of orange, lemmon, yeast, and other citrus. The flavor was sweet with the yeast standing out. The finish was sweet and wheaty. I enjoyed this beer and I am normally not a fan of a Belgian white.

Apr 23, 2009 Very good version of a belgian witbier. Lacked a good head out of the bottle, but the aroma was still very good. Another great beer from Ommegang.
