Ommegang Gnomegang
Gnomegang. Ommegang. With extra gnomes.
Belgian-style golden ale, 9.5% a.b.v., with yeast from Brasserie d'Achouffe.
Clouded golden hue, prodigious head on it, lovely, lovely, snow capped bubbly and lacy. Beautiful.
Aroma: Ah!!! Wow, really, nothing but, Ah!!! Nice and spicy, a little citric fruit, some lemon and orange, light and airy, a little funky and barnyard-y, just a bit.
Tasting it: on the palate, some of those flavors are there in the flavor, fruity, spicy, zesty, but also dry. Juicy, fruity, …dry. Spicy, fruity,…dry. Orange, banana, lemon, pepper, …dry. Bounces with flavor, then curbs right off, and jumps back in with each new sip.
Long, hoppy, spicy, dry finish. Very satisfying brew. The gnomes came through.
