| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2009 On tap at the Mountaindale Inn. Pours a clear amber with a thin white head. Spicy, yeasty aromas. Medium bodied, crisp, and with a malty sweetness to it. Finishes light and mild. McGarnigle (307), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 8, 2009 750 ml corked. Pours orange/amber, mostly clear, with terrific head. Smells fruity. Body is light-to-medium with assertive carbonation, not unusual for a Belgian, but a bit more than I’d like (maybe it wold feel better in the summer). Fruitiness of apples, nectarines, peaches, etc., and some spiciness. Finish is abrupt in its dryness. Not quite the best from this brewery. thejon375 (392), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Ok not too bad. Aroma is great. Taste not so much. A little like rotten pineapples. Different try it if you want to. ryanknock (150), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Nose of toast, biscuit, light toffee and esters, pear, apple and light orange. Medium to light mouthfeel, mostly carbonation filling it. Flavors of biscuit, toast, light toffee, pears, apple, light white pepper and clove. Rather dry and light mouthfeel at the finish, more toast and biscuit than esters and phenols. Mutualaid (136), Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Pours a dark orange with a nice, creamy off-white head; good lacing. Assertive stone-fruit aroma and a bit of barnyard funk with a hint of citrus hop. Flavor is mild fruit, white grape mostly, slightly spicy, with just enough hop bitterness to balance the malt. Medium, round body and a slightly sour finish. Probably the best Ommegang brew I’ve had and one that really showcases the yeast character. BrianDorry55 (117), Spring Hill, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2009 750ml. from Pristine Liquors in Spring Hill, FL. Pours a dark amber/sap color. Think white head. Aroma is yeast, floral notes, light malt, light citrus, not a strong enough smell. Flavor has a lot of citrus...quite a bit of yeast, a tiny hint of bitterness. Very smooth...quite a bit of carbonation, no aftertaste...really nice mouthfeel. Its alright...very drinkable...but its nothing really exciting. Definately the worst of the Ommegang beers that Ive had to date. LawBadger (24), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 8, 2009 750 ml bottle: Pours amber with a frothy white head. A sweet aroma consisting of yeast, floral, and citrus fruits such as orange and grapefruit. Surprised by the level of carbonation. Tastes of sweet yeast, malt, hops, orange, and spice. The sweet yeast almost overpowers the rest of the flavor components. Very smooth and flavor does not linger long. Okay, but not great, for a Belgium Ale.
