Well, Melissa came through and brought me a bottle (finally) of the Ommegang Witte and the Rare Vos (?) I forget. Anyway, thanks Melissa. I had it again last night and I still think this is a really nice Witbier. Great choice for summer! Scott-TBC’s last blog post..Chelsea Brewing Co. NYC - Some good beers!

Scott, I think you are ok to get the "sediment" in this one. Like Hoegaarden and Shocktop I believe it's actually recommended that you pour out about half into the glass then give the bottle a swirl to pick up the spices on the bottom so they become part of the head on the second pour. It's not yeast like you'd find and want avoid in say Ommegang's Abbey Ale. Wolfman-K’s last blog post..Demographics Survey

This review got me craving some wit, so I picked up some allogash. It was on sale. Even though it's an award winner, I didn't think it was spectacular. nate’s last blog post..Beer and Babes

I haven't had St Bernardus' Wit beer yet but I will probably try it soon. Another good white ale out there I think is Avery's White Rascal. Mike’s last blog post..Captain Sig’s Deadliest/Northwestern Ale

Nate, thanks. I'm really finding that I enjoy this style as well, and I'm hoping to sample some more when I can. I'll see if I can get a hold of the South Hampton and St. Bernerdus beers. Generally, I think the style is perfect for summer! Scott-TheBrewClub’s last blog post..The Theakstons - An English Brewing Dynasty

Great review scott! You put a lot of thought into that. I love Ommegang and am seethingly jealous of the member that visited the brewery. Mikelovesbeer.com just wrote about St. bernardus, another leader in this style. I actually brewed my own. A bunch of bottles exploded because I was too cheap to buy thick beer bottles. But it tasted good. My favorite in this style as far as american breweries goes is Double White Ale, by South Hampton Brewing House. My favorite Ommegang beer might be 3 philosophers. Anyway, great beer choice! Nate’s last blog post..Craft Beer Gets the Colbert Bump

I really enjoyed this. I really feel like it is one of the better whites I have had, even better than Hoegaarden.
