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!

Bottled. A hazy light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches, and wit yeast, as well as light notes of soap. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of wheat - a somewhat boring Wit.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Dry, spiced and mild wheaty aroma. Mild oxidised aroma, yet with a mild coriander and light citric note to a mild wheaty base flavour. Dry and towards malty finish with a touch of spices.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is citrus, wheat, and yeast. Flavor is wheat, touch of light lemon/citrus, and yeasty finish. Drinkable, but winter is definitely the wrong time of the year to indulge in this for me.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color with a really big head and subtle aromas of grass, citrus, and very small amounts of cloves. Flavor is a bit stronger, but still rather muted. A little bit of a yeasty wheat presence, some grass and lemon and just the slightest hint of cloves. If you are looking for a big aggressive beer, this is not it. If you want to sit and introspect about beer, this might be worth trying.

Pours with a large tight white head that leaves good lacing covering a vibrant, chill hazed yellow body. Aroma of wheat, coriander and a slight bit of sweet orange peel. Taste is spicey, with classic Ommegang yeast characteristics. Watery mouthfeel with light bubbles.

750 ml bottle purchased at Specs Liquors in Houston, TX. Pour is hazed golden with a two inch snow white head. A bunch of carbonation bubbles rise to the top of the glass. Aroma of citrus lemon and earthy funky yeastiness. Really engaging nose, soft, yet very complex. Taste is the sweet lemon and orange citrus. Wheat texture takes over in the middle. Finish is the spicy funky yeastiness. Nice transition of flavors. Palate seemed more like a Saison than a Wit, but really worked for this beer. Aftertaste lingers with a bit of sour lemon peel. Nice one.

Good, fluffy snowwhite head over greenish-yellow hazy beer. Fleeting aroma as of ink, then the coriander and citrus-like notes take over. Predictable. Rather oppressive coriander & citrus, but with a little wry, nearly bitterish finish. Very perfumed and spicy, but not long-lasting. Rather tittilating MF, but not overly refreshing for a wit. Wheat slickness. Ubiquitous wit. Thanks to the many links that brought the beer to faraway Tolvanpluto

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a longlasting white head. Has a fruity spicy wheat aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweet spicy coriander flavor with some hints of orange and citrus. Sweetish spicy wheat finish with hints of citrus in the aftertaste.
