Tap at Rattle n’ Hum. Fairly standard copper pour with little white head. Aroma has toasted coconut and a lot of bubble gum phenols. The bubble gum is overpowering everything: flavor profile of bubble gum, corn, and malt. Dull finish of fading malt. Nope.

750 mL bottle. Brownish amber pour with a large fluffy tan head. Aroma of yeast, apples and brown sugar. Great medium bodied taste of apples, caramel, coriander, spices and Belgian yeast. Slam dunk.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off-white head. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a big fruit flavor. A mix of citrus and sour apple. Not bad but not what I expected.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Great-looking orangish-red color with an insane amount of champagne carbonation. Massive root beer float head, more head than any regular beer. Clear as day. Leaves an outstanding cobweb lace.
Strong, but very appealing Belgian ale smell. Undertone of orange and maybe coriander. Slight citrusy spice aroma.
Citrus-sweet orange flavor, mixed with the spiciness of the Belgian characteristics. Perfect mix: the orange gives sweetness, the spice gives a sour tartness. Excellent balance.
Thick and bubbly, but has a relatively clean finish, considering its thickness. Coats the tongue. It’s a delicious, formidable beer. Tastes great but is maybe too heavy for all-night drinking.

Nice orangey pour with white cap, smelling of yeast funk and woody herbs and clove and citrus Tastes of cherry and citrus fruits and pie spices, over a rich grain malt base that is medium bodied. A true pleasure

750 ml bottle - Pours hazy amber with a big, billowy head with just a bit of lacing. Citrus, yeast, and a touch of spice. The flavor is malty with some spice traces. Lively carbonation however the body is too thin and watery. The finish is very. This beer is pretty good but I was expecting more from the Ommegang brewery
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Saucer poured into my very own Rare Vos glass. Gold rimmed for my pleasure. Clear amber red appearance with a foamy off-white head. Smells highly of Belgian yeast, light fruit and dusty grains. Taste is dry yeast, wheat and light apple. Very breadyon the finish. Not a whole lot of flavor as it’s mainly straight up grains.

Love this New York take on a twisty Belgian style. The balance between yeast, malt and hops makes this one a winner. Eminently drinkable, the Super Bowl was palatable as a result.
