Commercial Description:
Belgian pale & pilsner malts w/ Styrian Golding for bittering and Saaz for aroma. Ginger predominates the spicing. Fermented in primary with Ommegang's house yeast, followed by secondary with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Dry-hopped in secondary w/ a blend of hops; Tettnang being the stand-out. The flavor profile is very herbal with an earthy undertone (very fitting for a Belgian-style farmhouse ale). The dry finish and pronounced hop aromas hide the 8% abv very well. Dangerously drinkable for its strength and character.

Semi-hazy golden pour with a fizzy white head. Very acidic and sour with a dry, sweet, somewhat yeasty quality. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Really leans more towards a geuze than a delicate saison.

Pours golden with champagne like bubbles. Aroma is fruity with apple, citrus and bread. Mouthfeel is very lively with lots of carbonation. Flavor is drier than the nose would indicate. Citrus, spice and alcohol are the most up-fron with bread and some off, but not unpleasant flavors in the bakground. Another winner from Ommegang.

Super tasty yeasty explosion (like the label). Tart, with some apple, wheat, and toast flavors. Pepper and spice in the end. Cloves stand out, but can’t place my finger on anything else. Maybe lemon peel.

Hazy straw colored with a strange head with very defined bubbled that look like tiny fish eggs. There is something unusual about the surface of the bubbles in the head. Spicy CO2 aroma lightly funky with some citrus and bread. Mellow funky flavor, sharp and relatively dry. Nice tangy, slightly papery finish. I like this beer.

(USA) Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo !! The color is lite orange with a large foamy white head. The aroma is of funky cheese, pepper or a dirty baby diaper..... lol. Taste is kind of strange like i just licked a stamp, with some citrus notes. I am not a big fan of brettanomyces. :(

750ml bottle from batch #3, served in a stem glass. Pours hazy light orange with a dissipating white head. Smells of old cheese, funk, and light pepper. Tastes of funk, funk, and more funk as well as some citrus and peppery notes. I am glad I tried it but it is way too funky for me.
