First pour from the larger-size corked bottle was a weak, clear yellow, however upon last pour it became a cloudy honey colour topped with a fluffy white head. Some lacing, but I was expecting more. Taste is typical Belgian White, with some citrus, but there’s a sour hint in there. Like some other reviewers noted, a bit watery. Decent, but not exceptional like some of the other Ommegang brews.

does not count  Aug 18, 2008 Pours a beautiful gold color with gorgeous thick head. Aroma of coriander, orange peel, sugar and a hint of peppermint. Strong flavor of lemon; I couldn’t realy get past that with the taste. Certainly not the most well-rounded flavor I’ve had in a wit.

Aug 17, 2008 750ml. Slightly hazy yellow, lacy white head. Somewhat light-bodied with sparkling carbonation. Coriander spice and citrus taste, generally sweet and refreshing. Maybe a bit of orange marmalade. Following the label instructions, I kept the yeast in the bottle for most of it. Pouring a bit in at the end makes in tangy and earthy and less refreshing.

Aug 16, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden body with a strong, foamy white head. Soft wheat, some lightly bitter citrus, very smooth. Nice refreshing example of a style I don’t typically enjoy so much.

Aug 14, 2008 Cloudy yellow pour with thin white head. Nice spicy wheat aroma. Subtle taste of orange and yeast. Very fizzy on the tongue, almost burning. Decent effort.

Aug 13, 2008 not much haze and not great head retention. flavor of a mild pale malt and wheat component, a little hop bitterness and just mild orange peel and coriander component. the yeast is the best part, providing some subtle intricacies that makes the beer very enjoyable
