marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA Sep 23, 2007 Light and dry with apple like qualities. Orange colors. Fruity but not sweet. Even and balanced. Good. DuffMan (2721), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Sep 22, 2007 Cloudy amber orange, with a towering everlasting bubbly head. Yeasty aroma, with a fruity quality, stonefruits. Light palate, yeasty and fruity, sweet but not cloying, with a tart refreshing finish. My first Ommegang brew, shared with Parksy. Loved it. drewbeerme (2223), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 21, 2007 750ml bottle. only my second tasting of this beer. pours a dulled amber with creamy white head. nose is slightly dusty, and a balance between fruity (grapes, red apple) and yeasty. full flavor, some toasted biscuit, lightly fruity with some peach, grapes, and subtle spicy yeast notes. mouth feel is full but very light. carbonation is really smooth. fruity finish. a solid, fruity belgian ale. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Sep 19, 2007 Pretty disappointing as Belgians go. Absolutely NO HEAD at all on this beer. Bizarre orange color. Hints of apricot in the malt, fairly smooth but not a trace of hop balance. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Sep 18, 2007 For the price, a go to Belgian style. It doesn’t wow you, but it’s a nice beer typically priced in the low range. extremeicon (108), Wichita, Kansas, USA Sep 17, 2007 Dark, cloudy orange with a thin but active whitish head. Aroma of yeast and spices. Carbonation very evident on the palate. Spicey and yeasty flavor with a sour bready finish. Interesting mix of flavors, though it was tough to really tell what all was going on. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 15, 2007 Cloudy amber with big, foamy head / Faint malt and banana nose / Full, thick malt body with a little spritz on a decent finish / Sweet flavors of sour malt with undertones of banana and black pepper / Well made but a tad dull. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 14, 2007 Bomber. Just a touch of bananas on the nose and a solid spiciness. Golden amber color with a light tan soapy head. Undertones of lemons, bananas, and honey with a dominant spice in the flavor. Good solid spicey Belgian that I’d love to have again, but it won’t be a regular in the rotation.
