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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
