Ommegeddon is a Belgian-style ale with a wild twist; a dose of Brett yeast and a blast of dry-hopping. Its dryness and funkiness beget the name.

I've been holding on to two bottles of this for quite some time, I finally decided to pop the cork on one of them, I'll save the other for late summer I think.
It poured an orange-yellow with 3 fingers of rocky white head that have left behind chunks of foam on the sides of my glass. It hazed a bit in the fridge, but that doesn't bother me!
My first sniff was full of a strange citrus like smell, I'm not sure what the underlying scents were that threw off the citrus, but it was certainly complex. Now that my beer has warmed, there's a decided funky yeast smell (the brett I assume?) that reminds me of ripe blue cheese. Yummy! It tastes great, with a sharp bitterness up front that fades into a citrus peel flavor. I can't quite peg what the aftertaste reminds me of at the moment.The mouthfeel is sparkling and bubbly, not heavy at all but still coating the mouth nicely. I think I could drink very many of these in one sitting, especially since it seems to be changing even more as it warms up. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to try something off the beaten path.

Batch #2, March 2008. From my cellar.
Super funky, and not all that hoppy after 8 years of cellaring. But the funk was ever present throughout. Sharp mouthfeel with a very dry finish.
Loved it.
