Maddog (231), Kettering, Ohio, USA Apr 12, 2009 Had on draft at the brewery in Cooperstown and bottle from Belmont Party Supply in Dayton, O. A good beginners beer for someone not accustomed to drinking Belgians. A good beer, but like many of Ommegang’s, not great. The Belgian Amber was sweet with light fruit and light honey and finished with a hint of yeast and spice. Merrill (74), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 12, 2009 Pours cloudy amber with a generous foamy head and strong lace, smells just slightly sweet with a bit of spice. A strong bitter with a hint of peach in the back and a whiff of herbal spiciness and perhaps some pepper. The texture is buttery with just a little edge in the carbonation. The finish remains complex with a spicy candy and a light bitterness throughout. This beer has a very pleasant mildness and presents bo cloying quality at all. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours an off-white head with a golden amber body. Smells of yeast, clove, farm. Tastes the same but with a sour, fruity presence. KornDogg (168), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 9, 2009 Nice head, plenty of carbonation... golden amber... fruity and malty but not as much flavor as I expected but still well balanced and very smooth zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Apr 9, 2009 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Copper in color with a rich off-white head. Aroma is slightly spicy and very yeasty with some sweet malts coming through at the end. Flavor is lightly spiced at the beginning with a malty and yeasty middle. Finishes clean with some light spice. Very nice beer. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Apr 6, 2009 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. Pours a rich amber color with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is bread, yeast and a touch of the alcohol is present. Taste is lightly bitter and the finish is long lasting. A good thirst quencher on a Saturday afternoon. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Apr 3, 2009 Nicely balanced, tart and fruity. Really a good beer. Not overly sweet, a little dry, nothing over the top, but a good stand offering. Tasty. TaxiDriver (908), Stadland, Germany Apr 3, 2009 Bottle. The smell is light sweet, bread and quite strong of yeast, also a hint of alcohol. The head is large, creamy-foamy and white with a long duration. The body is clear and red. The taste is light bitter, quite dry in the mouth with a long duration. The beer is dry with a quite light body and a soft carbonation. A good beer.
