Jun 22, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Initially purchased in August, 2007 and aged for 8 months at 40-45 degrees. Rated on 3/23/08. Pours a clear golden with thick frothy white head. Good head retention. Smells strongly of spice, pepper, hops. Small hint of vanilla. Flavor is interesting. Slightly bitter, complex vegetable-spice notes with hints of flowers. Hints of aged cheese and spice on finish. Medium-bodied.

Jun 21, 2008 750 ml bottle. pours a deep golden with a nice size white head, in which a solid lacing holds well through the glass. some spice in the aroma, but mainly yeast and citrus. solid hop presence... you can definitely tell they dry hopped this one. medium body, even over the palate... lots of lemon and some spice. nice finish.. the spice comes through the most on the finish. not as funky as I thought it would be..... nice, but not worth the price tag.

Jun 19, 2008 THOUGHTS: Not as funky as I was expecting. I usually don’t look for funk in a beer, but I was kind of in the mood. A nice beer, but not great. The dry hopping is nice twist for the style. Gets more funky as it warms.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a hazy, golden yellow with a small white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light hops, light to moderate dough and cheese yeasts, white wine along with a slight fruitiness. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and bitter an moderately acidic; while the finish was lightly sweet and acidic, moderately to heavily bitter and sour with an average to long duration. There were white wine flavors then a lot of yeast and hops. The light to medium body was dry with fizzy carbonation and a light astringen and sort of metallic finish.

Jun 17, 2008 The aroma is similar to an unblended lambic very tart and and haylike and then somewhat like a tripel. It pours a very cloudy orange with a one finger white foamy head. The flavor is very bitter, at first i get lemons and oranges very citrusy finishing with a nice hop bitterness all the while being extremely tart and dry this is one funky ale right here!

Jun 16, 2008 It was okay until it warmed up. Then it became much better. The funk would not have been detected had I not known about it by the label. Overall it was well spiced and quite drinkable.

Jun 15, 2008 I’m sorry...I love Ommegang but this is not a winner. Straw color, next to no head, maybe a little lacing. Weak aroma of fruit. The flavor was that of overripe fruit (and I hate that flavor) with only a little brett (and this bottle is a year old) funkiness. Flat in the mouthfeel and just rather sickly sweet through and through. Talk about a major disappointment!

Jun 15, 2008 Thanks to Eric for this one. Cloudy yellow body. Aroma is funky, bretty, cheesy, and has a putrid ammonia/cat piss character. Flavor is light brett, honey, and yeast. Cool name though.

Jun 14, 2008 Pours a clear light golden yellow with a big even soft head, decreasing quickly enough. The nose is dry and spicy. Light wheaty malt with alcohol, spicy hops, a bit of straw. A bit yeasty, but mostly dry and alcoholic. The mouthfeel is about average. Low carbonation and not watery. The flavors are very dry and refreshing. Crisp hops, spicy, alcohol, and dry dry Brett! A bit of that pineapple-like fruit and straw. Very dry. Small hints of horseblanket, but nothing crazy, lingering driness. Leaves an astringency. This would be lovely as an every day beer for a quarter the price!
