Ommegang Aphrodite

Ommegang Aphrodite. Malt Beverage with Natural flavors and grains of paradise. Fermented with Brett yeast.

"Like a time lapse photo with an elegant goddess floating through it. Aphrodite is ethereal. Intriquing. And mysterious. This fine ale has champagne-like carbonation, Delicate flavors with whispers of fruit and hints of funk and tartness, imbued by the yeast. The refreshing dryness comes from Ommegang and brett yeasts fermenting the pils malts and raspberry and pear juices. Grains of paradise are then infused into the nectar when poured. Aphrodite is capped by a luxuriously shimmering rosy head."

Oh, really. Okay.

Yep, it's a rosy pinkish head, that zips away without a trace. Reddishness beneath.

Aroma: Sweet stuff. Sweet, fruit, wild, and funky. Definite lambic flavor, here. Has the wild feeling, through and through. There's peach in there, along with cherries, peach, raspberries, and more.

Taste: fiercely funky, wonderfully wild, crazily fruity. Mmm, tasty, funky-fruity. Long bitter buzz leads right into fruit and sour. I like this.
