Batch #2, October 2008
9/09/2009: Ommegang Biere de Mars... Aroma: Grapes, slight spice, somewhat like a urinal cake. Appearance: Solid looking with plenty with a steady white to off-white head; very minimal carbonation. Flavor: Decent maltiness, adequate fruitiness, reserved spice, alcohol is fairly well-hidden; mild, but noticable creamy yeastiness; weak earthy bitterness; very slight oxidation? Palate: Medium, well-rounded, carbonation pokes through. Overall: Decent, but not really my thing.
1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz. corked and caged bottle (Alc./Vol. 6.5%) shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #267 for this beer.

Sep 20, 2009 The characteristic funky smell of the brett comes through first, barnyard, sweet, sour. The appearance is cloudy orange, thick white head, lots of particulate matter. The flavor is tart fruit, vinegar, lemon, floral hops. The finish is a floral hop bitterness, and a tart lemon flavor, dry. The mouthfeel is relatively thin, fizzy. Unique and enjoyable. This might have been a run of the mill biere de garde, w/o the brett to make it stand out.

Sep 19, 2009 Dry-hop aroma, obviously stated on the label. There was a very yeasty appearance, with the influence of our fine fungal friend Brett. The flavor it tart, with some hoppy sweetness. I enjoyed the beer more the first time I had it in June, as opposed to late August, but I’m not sure what variable affected the flavor.

Sep 13, 2009 750ml - Pours a dark amber in color wirh a medium white head that stuck around to produce some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is delightful mix of Belgian yeasts, the Brett and some floral hoppiness. Flavor is definitely tart with bready yeasts, some citrus, some caramel and some hops on the finish. Quite good...

Sep 11, 2009 Smells of cheap perfume, spice, squash and flowers, very floral. Pours dark gold with a large foamy white head, and tastes of citrus, with a sour/sweet thing going on. Good, but not great.
