Brewery Ommegang Witte

**Aroma:** “Sweet malty aroma with notes of biscuits and wheat. Some nice fruity citrus notes with coriander and floral characteristics. Subtle sour apple and white grape. Hints of black pepper.” **Flavor:** “Light wheat malt sweetness with a slight honey character. Orange and lemon citrus with nice, mild, fresh coriander. Dry, lingering, slightly tangy finish accompanied by good background bitterness.” **Overall:** “An excellent exemplar of the style. Spices are noticeable but not overpowering. Well balanced between bitterness and malt sweetness. A crisp wit beer with fruit, citrus, and orange character. Very refreshing and flawless.”

**Aroma:** “Tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, and lychee) with bready malt, wheaty spiciness, and a light peppery spice. Floral, honeysuckle aroma. A subtle hint of caramel.” **Flavor:** “Pineapple juice! OMG, it’s the Dole plantation. Not exactly a tripel, but the flavor is intriguing. Tropical fruits dominate, with a little caramel in the background to support it without overdoing it. Tastes like alcoholic fruit cocktail with fun Belgian phenolics (black pepper, clove, hints of leather and tobacco). Very restrained bitterness provides balance.” **Overall:** “Despite the stylistic deviations from tripel, it’s a big, juicy Mai Tai that accidentally ended up in a beer bottle (or can). Those looking for a classic Belgian tripel will be sorely disappointed, but the adventurous will be richly rewarded.”

**Aroma:** “Light, malty wheat sweetness accented by barely there coriander and orange. Some light floral and spice notes. Nose is hard to detect, almost absent. More spice than wheat.” **Flavor:** “Malty sweet with some acidity and some coriander. Nice sweet profile of fruity notes, orange, citrus with floral and pepper notes. Medium wheat character and balanced earthy hops flavors. Slight slickness on the tongue. Finish is sweet rather than crisp but has good acidity.” **Overall:** “Tastes carbonated despite no head. A crisp version of a wit. Nice sweetness and easy drinking. This beer could be excellent with a little more crispness and a little residual sweetness.”
