Witbier brewed with orange peel and coriander
This traditional Belgian-style white ale refreshes the body and illuminates the spirit. Brewed with malted and unmalted wheat and seasoned with coriander and sweet orange peel, Witte pours hazy, smooth and flavorful, with aromas of citrus and clove.
Crisp and refreshing on its own, it shines brightly alongside lighter fare like salads and appetizers, and serves as a perfect complement to barbecue and spicy dishes.
Enjoy a taste of the sun. Santé!

Weak banana aroma. Cloudy yellow with fine suspended particles and a thick white head. Floral lemon flavor, fizzy mouthfeel. Some grassy notes present. Alcohol content deceptive. Fairly unique, and not very strong.

750 ml bottle from Imbibe Wine. Nose of yeast, caramel, light cloves and nutmeg. Very lightly hazy yellow with a medium off white head. Flavor was peppery spices, banana, cloves, and light sweetness.

Bottle, 12oz, at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. A clear, golden beer with a minimal white head. The yeasts could be shaken loose from the bottom to produce a hazy beer, but was really stuck. Citrus, orange mostly, some hops and malts, but quite weak and lacking on coriander. Hoppy bitterness, some spicy notes and pale malts in the flavor. More interesting than the aroma. Dry, medium body, quite effervescent. Coriander, oranges and bitterness in the finish. A bit disappointing compared to other Ommegang beers, but a decent one. 090802

Bottle. Thin appearance and rather thin flavor. Very dry and clean but lacking flavor. I like it much more 2 years ago from the 750 ml bottle. This one was clean and easy to drink, but with very little character.

12 oz bottle. Beautiful looking beer. Faint skunk flavor toward the beginning which disappears after a few drinks. Develops nice Belgian beer flavors as it warms and develops a nice aftertaste. It’s clear this beer is not Belgian in origin but it tastes pretty damn close.

750 ml. A bit on the sweet side, but a declicious, well-crafted wit nonetheless. Iniviting pale golden hazy body with a big white head that sticks around. Spicy aroma of clove and coriander mixed with some citrusy lemon and sweet pineapple. Hint of floral hops and toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly tart. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly to moderately tart. The spicy flavors and forward tartness continue into the aftertaste, nicely separated from the sweetness. Medium body with a watery texture and prickly carbonation. Clean and refreshing.

Besides IPA’s/DIPA’s, Belgian Whites have to me by next fav and this is a great interpretation. the spices were not as heavy as an allagash, but noticeable enough, finishes great, im liking ommegang more and more.

750, c&c from Bottle Barn. Pours dirty gold with a bubbly white head. Aromas of citrus and maybe clove. Carbonation gives a creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is citrus and something nice, but not clove. Finishes clean and refreshing. Pretty much as advertised.
