Commercial Description:
Belgian pale & pilsner malts w/ Styrian Golding for bittering and Saaz for aroma. Ginger predominates the spicing. Fermented in primary with Ommegang's house yeast, followed by secondary with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Dry-hopped in secondary w/ a blend of hops; Tettnang being the stand-out. The flavor profile is very herbal with an earthy undertone (very fitting for a Belgian-style farmhouse ale). The dry finish and pronounced hop aromas hide the 8% abv very well. Dangerously drinkable for its strength and character.

Honkeybra recommendation. Crushed with Jakebra. Funk like George Clinton. Almost as Brett as the Favre. Pretty surprisingly sexy.

Bottle purchased at Raja Liquors in Livermore, CA. The pour: cloudy, light caramel color, with nice head retnetion and brussels lace. The bouquet: heavy on the bretta and hoppiness- (it reminded me of Orval!) orangy, citrusy. The palate: heavy on the hoppiness- quite sharp. Very herbal, very earthy. (Again, a lot like Orval!) The finish: The aftertaste for me was somewhat short, but very refreshing... A masterpiece! May the brewers at Ommegang be blessed by GOD.

Sampled at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival. Clear yellow color with a small, fizzy white head. Damn funky aroma of brettanomyces. A lot of fresh hay, wet earth and barnyard notes sticking out. Signature Saaz hops character is there too. Flavor is mildly spicy with undertones of ginger and herbs. Pronounced yeast biscuit on the finish.

Hazy yellow/gold orange; fast stream of tiny bubbles travelling up the middle; thick frothy eggshell-white head. Totally bretty aroma. Very dry. Very Orvallish. Hides its 8% well. Dried out hop bitterness. (not overwhelming) yeast presence. To sum up, this is like Orval on a pretty good day. Totally kick ass.

Bottle. [thank you, drmatt]
Pours light hazy yellow with a great, frothy, white head with super lacing. Aroma is malty, clear brett, apples, oranges and some hops. Great, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is pleasantly hoppy, vanilla, hops and oranges. The brett is nice, and never interferes with the overall experience. Nice.
