Brewery Ommegang BPA (Belgian-style Pale Ale) Belgian Pale Ale at 6.2% ABV ($10.71 at Zyn, 750ml, best before 21-Jun-2011)
Pours cloudy pale amber with a fat finger of dense pillowy light tan head, great retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Nose is caramel malt, dark fruit, herbal hops and mild spice. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, and mild bitter. (6/10) Medium body, moderate to low carbonation. (3/5)
Well, it’s obviously way, way past its best before – the hops are way muted and altered, but it’s not actually off. Still surprisingly drinkable, but I’ll rate this again when I see a fresh one. (12/20)
