Ommegang Biere de Mars

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with an off-white head. Aroma is sour fruit, a bit of soap typical for the style, hops, and some barnyard characteristics. Taste is light fruit up front, with a soapy/hoppy/barynard finish that really brings the whole beer together. I liked it very much.

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours slightly murky orange with an off-white head.Aroma of sour fruit, wheat, hops, hay, soil, and hints of lemon. Medium bodied. Moderate, sweet mouthfeel. Very good.

batch 002 from october 2008. deep orange/amber with a thick cream head. nose is dried fruis, slight cherry and a tart nose. very smooth on the palate with a flavor of citrus, dried apples and funk.

750 mL bottle. Pours a deep coppery orange with big offwhite head. The aroma is an interesting spicy lime with some oak, obvious brett, a little bit of leather, and a little bit of super-ripe berries. The flavor is rather dry with a sort of lime, oak, and lavender mixture, some spiciness, and a bit of earthy leather. The finish is nice and dry with plenty of brett character. A slight cheesy funk with some vanilla lingers into the aftertaste. A pretty tasty beer here.

750 oz. purchased at Mac’s on West Peachtree. A little expensive, but you only have one life to live! Haze orange/brown color. Head fades away fairly quickly. Tart apple aroma. Slight sweet fruit aroma as well. Somewhat of a pungent aroma. I like the sour aroma, but it is not incredibly nuanced. Interesting flavor. It is not that sour at all. There is a slight sour flavor, but it has a slightly sweet fruit flavor as well. I taste the brett only slightly which is a let down, wish it had more of a presence here. Slight spice at the very end. Not an incredibly awesome beer, but it has its moments. Beer is slightly smooth.

Thanks to Savvy1982 for the share! Pours a cloudy brown/orange with a large head that retains well. Aroma is slightly sour, and has a nice complexity. Oranges, sour cherries, breasy yeast, lilacs, apples and plum skin. The taste is like a thin Orval pretender (Not a bad thing). Lilacs, cherries, oranges, perfume, apples, soft fruit, dark fruit and a slightly spicy/sour finish. Ok mouth feel, just a little thin. Not a bad Orval pretender, just not Orval.

750 ml bottle - batch #2 / Oct. 2008; dark orange with fluffy white head; apples, bretty dryness, a little mushy and yeasty spice; definitely has a tarty kick; dry, wheaty and grainy; very little sweetness and flavor profile is kind of strange; almost a wild flower flavor or dirty sticks

amber hue with a thick white head that had good retention and some lace. Aroma was of fruit notes and barnyard notes. Fruit notes were a tad acidic, non offensive and not citrus. Flavor seemed to have a good fruit tartness to it a good yeasty note to it. Finish was good but rather thin. Carbonation was mild.
