Had this very nice summer brew at the release party at Monks in Philadelphia on 4-May-2004. Carbonation was a bit deceiving as there wasn't a great head however, it came out well in the mouth. Golden strwa in color. There wasn't to much nose at first but as it warmed in my hand it began to come out. The nose reminded me of sweet fruity type spcies. Ontasting it the first thing I noticed was a citrus (tangerine to lemon) note right up front. The brew had a crisp dry finish. I understan this brew uses some type of a belgian yeast strain and am told this is where the citrus like taste comes into play.

I like this brew alot and am intending to purchase sixtel for a summer party.

Serving type: on-tap

Poured from a 750 mL bottle in to a pint glass.

A- Hazy and light yellow. One finger head that recedes to almost nothing.

S- Banana, clove, citrus, spice, and alcohol. Pretty inviting.

T- The taste is what you'd expect from the style, and follows the nose consistently. Orange and lemon flavors. Nothing off-putting about it, but nothing outstanding.

M- Really bubbly and crisp. Light to medium mouthfeel and super refreshing.

O- Great on a hot day. This beer is nothing out of the ordinary, but you know you're getting quality with Ommegang.

After a cheerful pop from the cork this pours a hazy straw colored gold with a bone white head of foam that fell off to a thin skin and cap that never left. Great soapy lace. This beer literally glows in the glass and is so lovely to look at. Nose is bright and funky with Belgian, citrus, and hay. Underneath is a big malt profile with wheat, honey and grain. A touch of spice and orange rind as it warms. Taste is tart with lemon and dry with a hint of hop bitter that stands up gracefully next to a big cracker malt and fresh wheat. Creamy clean, sparkling carbonation, it leaves with a touch of honey and a taste of sour not bitter . Drinks light and amiable. Ommegang has done it again with a classic wit that’s radiant and refreshing.
