Witte
Witte pours hazy with aromas of citrus and clove. The witbier is brewed with malted and unmalted wheat, flaked oats, coriander and sweet orange peel, and it is bottle conditioned. At 5.2% and 11 IBU it is easy on the scale, and it was the first Ommegang beer ever packaged in kegs, back when draft distribution began.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Witte
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
