6.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Draft @ BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. Off orange color. Flavor shows bready, Belgian yeast that gives fruit notes. Medium in body with very light notes of citrus. Was kind of underwhelmed with this one.

At the brewpub.
This was served in a nonic pint glass, wishing they would have put this in a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy mahogany color with a slim transparency about it. Carbonation was seen rising at a moderate pace to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about forty seconds.
The smell had a restrained cooked malts over some light spice.
The taste was mainly spicy trying to bring in a slight breadiness but even that stays mainly subdued. A slight spicy aftertaste leads to a semi-dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed fine for the style and for me. Bitterness is there but not overbearing.
Overall, I say this was okay for the style and for me. A part of me was hoping for a bit more fruitiness or even some Belgian sweetness, but it’s decent.

Keg at the brewpub. Pours clear gold with white creamy topping. The aroma holds light yeast, bread and some citrus. Light-medium sweet flavor with light perfume, citrus, pale bread, light bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes nicely with decent balance, more bread and subtle Belgian yeast. Not bad.
