Ommegang - BPA

This fine pale ale has citrus and tropical fruit aromatic shared with a well-balanced – yet abundant – hop character. It uses Duvel Belgian yeast, five malts, two hops, and plenty of patience. Finishing touches include dry-hopping with Cascade hops and warm-cellaring.

The ABV is 6.2 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Belgium Pale Ale
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery - 12oz Bottle

Not recommended for extended cellaring.

The Pour - Pours a amber color with a big white head. Good lacing.
Aroma - Citrus fruits and a bit hoppy.
Taste -  Some Malts and spices, some hops.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation, medium body, dry finish.
Drinkable - Refreshing on a hot day, very crisp.  I will stick with real Belgium ales for this style.  Try one of the other Ommegang brews, they are much better.

This beer may pair well with cheese and white meat.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A-.
BeerAdvocate Rating =A-
