From Brewery Ommegang: High, white, fluffy summer clouds. A soft breeze through a citrus grove. A heavenly bite of orange chiffon cake. All of these come to your mind as you lift our pale golden wheat ale to your lips. It’s so soft, so light on your tongue, you think, as the tart lemon, bitter orange, and subtle spiciness of coriander arrive to round out the intriguing delicacy of this delicious ale. You smile, knowing there are five more of them in the fridge.

Crafted for summer session drinking, is a traditional white ale, or witbier; pale in color, with a high, white frothy head and refreshing flavors of orange, lemon, coriander, and wheat. Witte is also Brewery Ommegang’s first ale to be offered on draft.

Try Ommegang Witte at: a picnic with light summer foods, appetizers, salads, and barbeques. Or while sitting on the beach, watching clouds drift by.

Pours light, clear yellow with a thin white head. This brew is light, lemony with a hint of spice. A nice refreshing and drinkable session beer.

This is a good white. Light and fluffy like the bottle describes. Beyond that, there isn’t much to say.
