I had a bottle from batch #3 (April 2008) that I bought for $12.50. The beer pours a slightly hazy golden color with a huge white head. Straight off, I can smell subtle funkiness from the Brett and a whole lot of Belgian yeast character. There are also some pronounced citrus notes on the nose. For a farmhouse ale, this is an extremely drinkable example due to the balanced sourness. It is by no means overwhelming. Towards the end, there is a refreshing wave of clean, hoppy flavor. It finishes very dry. In all, this is an interesting take on a Belgian farmhouse ale with more hoppiness than traditional examples. I would rate this beer 3.75/5.</p> <p>-Tommy</p> So I thought I’d post my tasting notes here for the Ommegeddon since I had one tonight.
