25 for Ommegang

Two things got me to writing about a special limited release beer from Ommegang Brewing.

One – 25 freakin’ years.  You can’t not celebrate that.

Two – imperial amber ale, how often you gonna see that style

oh and Three – it’s in bottles.

Here is more on the beer from the brewery, “25th Anniversary Ale is an imperial amber ale that conveys a traditional Belgian sweetness balanced with spicy citrus notes. This beer pours coppery brown with a billowy cap, and notes of lemon and white pepper flakes that are present straight away. At first sip there is a presence of sweet maltiness, that is refined by late additions of Cascade hops, resulting in a dry balanced finish.”
