Ommegang ZUUR. Wow. A sour ale. If I hadn't known in advance I probably would have choked.
The head was a tan color. Head lasted to the bottom of the glass. Ale was a medium to dark brown color. Aroma was malty with a hint of a sour smell to it. Not a lot of hop in the aroma or flavor for that matter.
The taste was like a sweet tart with out the sweet. Very interesting and for my first sour ale I will say that it is a flavor that grows on you during the experience. I can honestly say that I liked it. Not something that I would drink all the time (especially not at $12 per 750ml bottle). I also think 750ml is a little much for one person at a setting. The taste reminded me of a Lambic style ale. Reminiscent of a Lindemans Framboise without the fruit. I give it am 8 out of 10. Ommegang doesn't disappoint. Great beer.
