Ommegang Fleur de Houblon Summer Ale. 6.8% ABV.
Appearance: clear-ish, light golden coloring, slim, but lasting ivory head.
Aroma: hoppy, fruity, floral, lively and uplifting. Little bit of spice, lots of bright and beautiful flavors.
Taste: Hmmm. Mmmm. this is nice upon nice. It's citrus, flowers, and parts of pine, kicked off with Belgian yeast, slices of lemon and lime, orange peel, grapefruit pith. Medium-bodied, light and easy-drinking. Slim-toned and gorgeous. Fierce carbonation. Hops-aplenty.
Here's what the Brewery Ommegang says about it: Nothing is more evocative of summer than the beautiful aroma of flowers, and the favored flowers of brewers are hops. Our brand new summer ale, Fleur de Houblon (Hop Flowers), is brewed to bring the many elements of summer into a refreshing and easy-to-drink Belgian-style ale.
Fleur de Houblon is a rich gold color with distinct floral hops in the aroma that follow through in the taste. Whole-cone Bravo hops are used to impart their earthy, fruity, and floral aromas and flavors. The body and flavor are clean and dry, with pleasing complexity and spicy notes from both primary and secondary fermentation with our unique Ommegang house yeast.
