Ommegang Ommegeddon

Cork bomb! Pours A dark orange, with a hint of staw and gold. The head is white and rather tall, but disapates after a few sips. The aroma is very funky< yet very hard to describe. Some qualities in the aroma are very noticeable, such as a champagne esc scent.Very farmhouse-y minus the fact that it is 8%. The flavor is sweet at times yt lacks flavor at others. The alcohol isnt as present as some of the other super saisons I have tried recently. Not overly sweet which is what I look for in a saison.

Bottled at Copenhagen Beerfestival 09. Clear yellow color, short head. Cheesy aroma, bit spicy. Bit spicy and dry taste, slight sweet.

The aroma is mostly funk, esters, and spice with a touch of sweet with a hint of hop if you look for it. The flavor is much crisper and dryer than I anticipated with a dash of alcohol warmth as well as a hint of metal. Overall I liked the aroma better than the flavor.

Batch #1, June 2007 750ml bottle courtesy of pimpp, thank you. The label deserves honorable mention for being hardcore and I love it but at the same time nuclear weapons need to be abolished. I have actually been looking forward to this due to my newfound love of the sour, the funk, and my previous experience with Ommegang. Funkhouse ale with brettanomyces sounds delicious. The color is a pale, cloudy yellowish orange with a small head. It smells like funky sour fruits and is very good. The taste has a funk tartness that hits the back of my mouth beautifully, mmmm. Some grassy flavor and just a really nice, enjoyable taste. There is a slight dryness at the end that is perfect. ISO? Update 04/09/08 The smell seems more peppery and spicy with a grassy, slight hay smell. The flavor is not as sour as I remember which doesn’t make sense. There is still a tartness but it is more mellow and it wasn;t strong to begin with. There is a little bit of a lemony flavor and this is definitely still dry. The second glass is a little more tasty than the first and I did let the bottle breathe at least 20 minutes. Still, I wish it was a little more sour.

Bottle. Clear gold pour with a medium white head. Citrusy lemon aroma with plenty of tartness. Tart lemon and wild yeast flavor with a bitter finish. Not bad, but a bit one-dimensional.

Batch 1. This was all right, no better than Hennepin. I’d love to try one of the newer batches. This poured a fairly clear blonde with a nice white head. The aroma was spicy, sort of funky, with some hay. Flavor was spicy with some funk, a little fruitiness and was refreshingly dry. Seemed kind of basic, but enjoyable none the less.

Bottled. Light golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Sweetness, light sourness, light ripe fruits in the aroma. Flavour is sweetish, fruity, light sour and right spiced. Medium to full bodied. Dry. Has a fruity light sour end. Quite nice and drinkable.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small lacing white head. Fresh aromas with notes of citrus fruit, coriander, flowers, pepper and yeast. Dry and crisp flavour with notes of herbs, wheat, apples and yeast. Pretty average. Too exspensive.
