Carmel and a touch of butterscotch (pleasant) in aroma. Orange-brown liquid with modest tan head. Carmel repeats in flavor, fairly sweet. Just a slight spicey hint as well. Finishes fairly dry.

Amber color, off white spongy head, slight bitter hoppy taste, light body, medium carbonation, abrupt finish. Nice beer.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: OCT 8, 2011 Very intensely yeasty for an amber ale, which it gives a good spiciness to it. Great take on a Belgian Ale and very good all around.

Sly fox indeed. Bottle with a golden amber hue with a thick and creamy head. spicy fruit and breads with a slightly bitter tinge with a nice an yeasty finish. Great light spice with a little bit of apple. Very decent and enjoyable. Wish I had some more. very drinkable brew.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2011 Had this at the CNY brewfest on Feb 5 2011. I don’t usually buy ommegang because of the price but I enjoyed this. It had the belgium yeast flavor but it was balanced with a fruity flavor. Unfortunately the details of the beer were lost over the event.
UPDATE:
I bought this one and enjoyed it even more. Spicy notes and the fruit flavors were of oranges. Have to give this one a better score.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(bottle, 9/8/10). Amber color, with light cloudiness. Medium off white head. Moderate sweet aroma, with light fruit esters. Flavor of the same. Avg duration. Dry finish. Slick texture. Soft-moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Mmmmm. Delicious malts with a nice spicy character. Aroma has fruit for sure with a bit of dough. Nice cloudy amber color. I drank this so fast and wanted more. That’s what I get for drinking stouts and porters for the last few months and ignoring my favorite style.
