3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had on tap at BXL cafe. Lovely orange hue capped by a soapy looking white head. Nose has light orange, coriander, and earthiness. Taste brings the addition of light biscuit. Bitterness is a bit cutting but enjoyable. Mouth is light bodied, does become dry. Yum.

On tap at the BXL Cafe. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, apple and pear, sweet malt. Flavor of light bready malt, sweet fruit, light spices. Pretty good saison and very drinkable.

In short: A spicy basic Belgian golden ale. Decent, no more.
How: Tap at BXL Belgian Café, NYC
The look: Almost clear light golden body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is spicy, orange peels. Taste is rather sweet, very spicy, crisp honeyed and caramelized cereals, hay, yeasty notes, very lively body. Basically this is a typical basic fluffy lively Belgian golden ale augmented with flavors of orange peels and spices. Not a bad beer but overall this is a bit of a letdown coming from Ommegang and certainly one of the less interesting beer from this usually very good brewery. Oh well, this beer is exclusive to this NYC bar so I had to try it. It is expensive to drink beer in New-York City, and everybody’s is complaining about the plummeting economy, however I saw a sawed-off shotgun kiosk that was doing great.

On tap at BXL Cafe East. Nice cuvee of amber complexion. Nose was fruity and spicy. Taste also caramel, toffee with some nice sweet fruit flavours. Enjoyable and Ommegang always very good.

Ommegang makes this house beer for the BXL restaurants. Enjoyed in midtown Manhattan. Cloudy golden with a lace sheet. Sour in aroma. Above average mouthfeel. Citrus orange taste, with the coriander and grains of paradis. Good drinkability, satisfying. Drying finish.

On the fifth day of Christmas...BXL served to me one of these. Pours a somewhat hazy orange with nice carbonation. Aroma is citrus, spices and grass. Taste is sweet with very very subtle bitters. Very light mouthfeel makes this easy to drink.

(On tap at BXL Cafe) The house beer of one of my favorite beer bars in NYC. A nice amber complexion. A bit spicy with definite flavors of orange peel and coriander. A unique flavor within the vast Belgian selections available here.

On tap at BXL. Pours a ligthly hazed orange with a medium sized white head. Sweet, light alcohol, candy, yeast. Sweet honey and a touch herbal. Warming alcohol on the finish, lingering spiciness and a bit of malt.
