“No one enjoys their job more than I do -- producing and developing new brews to delight lovers of fine beer, add to that the opportunity to collaborate on a beer based on the cultural phenomenon of Game of Thrones and exploring ways to make the beer truly reflect aspects from the show. It made us approach development in a completely new way and I think the first edition Iron Throne reveals that. With a Lannister currently on the throne, it made sense to do a delicate, but piercing Golden Blonde Ale with Noble hops. Iron Throne is certainly fair in color and soft in appearance, yet it still possesses a complexity and bite to be on guard for.” -Phil Leinhart, Brewmaster at Brewery Ommegang
Iron Throne has a slightly hazy golden amber hue. The head is full and fluffy. The finish is crisp, backed by a touch of spice and hops. The aroma is a bit grassy with a hint of lemon fruitiness from the lemon peel. The taste is lightly malty, rounded by honey malt sweetness.
Malt: Pils, Honey Malt, Aroma malt, Red wheat.
Hops: Styrain Golding, Hallertau Spalter Select.
Spices: Lemon peel, Grains of Paradise.
Pour slowly so as to not disturb the yeast sediment, but with enough vigor to create a luxurious head and release the rich bouquet.

Associated, Brooklyn bottle: pours slighty hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is yeasty, with fruity notes. Taste is lightly hopped, kind of sweet, and rather yeasty. Easy to drink Belgian style ale with good character.

Sample during at Daily Growler Powell during the "5th Friday $5 Fest" on 04/29/2016. Hazy orange-amber color with a medium thick ivory white head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of fruity yeast, malt and herbal hops. The finish is herbal and citrusy with a yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Sampled from a 750 ml corked brown bottle this beer poured a murky peach color with an enormous foamy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was yeasty, spicy and sweetish with notes of honey, perfume and an herbal note. The flavor was tangy, sweetish and mildly bitter with a yeasty presence, golden fruit, phenol and perfume. Long finish. Medium body. Solid.
