Ommegang (Blonde)
This is a well rounded Belgian blonde that holds its own among the blondes in Belgian.
The appearance is light and golden with a highly
carbonated body that is vibrant, making this a very clean looking
beverage. The aroma is sweet and exciting. The sweetness is
complimented by a hoppy bitterness. There is little to no smell of alcohol, which is
surprising for such a strong beer. However this is probably because it is
overpowered by a rich malty whiff. The flavour is the centrepiece of this beer. It starts of
with an explosion of a light hoppy flavour, complimented by a sweet and citrusy
malty taste, which is then finished with a delicate alcohol flavour. This beer is not finished there however as it ends with a delightful bitter lingering flavour that is subtle yet complex
with notes of caramel.The flavour is complimented by a full bodied mouthful which
is smooth and refreshing, finishing this beer off nicely.
This is a great Belgian blonde that you must try, however it
doesn’t quite live up to my favourite blonde, which is the Bruge Zot.
