Seven Hells! Seven Kingdoms Hoppy Wheat Ale, the newest beer in the Game of Thrones series from HBO Global Licensing and Brewery Ommegang, is slated to debut this spring ahead of the premiere of season six of HBO’s critically-acclaimed and Emmy award-winning show. The brew will be available all throughout the realm – the United States that is – both on draft and in large-format 750ml bottles. Seven Kingdoms is a marriage of a traditional Belgian-style wheat and a hop-forward American ale – but unlike so many of the marriages on the show, the resulting hoppy wheat is pleasant, playful and inspired. At 6.9% ABV, it possesses a nuanced complexity that pairs nicely with the hop-forward characteristics that make it surprisingly refreshing. “We love bringing as much inspiration, thoughtfulness and creativity to the Game of Thrones beers as we can,” said Mike McManus, Innovation Manger at Brewery Ommegang. “This last season, the imaginativeness of the show was pretty astounding so we aimed for a beer that could hope to match that. A fusion of two wonderful styles was an idea that really excited our team.” “With Seven Kingdoms, Ommegang has crafted another excellent brew which we know our fans will love,” said Josh Goodstadt, Vice President of Global Licensing at HBO. “The world of Westeros is varied and complex and this varietal embodies those characteristics while offering a new and unique taste to beer drinkers.” Seven Kingdoms pours a hazy pale yellow with a thick cap of pure white foam. The aroma is floral, citrusy with a touch of passion fruit and a slightly herbal hop aroma underpinned with yeast notes of banana, ripe fruit, and spicy phenols. The taste is a full, round hop flavor with tart orange and lemon with a substantial wheat maltiness and the finish has slightly lingering hop notes without being harshly bitter. The mouthfeel is smooth and silken owing to the wheat and oats. The new brew is hopped with Bravo, Centennial, Citra, Cascade, and Columbus, and brewed with pilsner, white and red wheat, oats, and a touch of sugar to lighten the body. Ommegang’s unique house yeast is used in both primary fermentation and bottling conditioning

    Pours hazy solar yellow with a thick, frothy, rather persistent ivory head. Fruity aroma taps the ol’ Jimmy Durante from half a meter away, and then lets you have it with banana, grassy, hoppy and fresh malt notes. Flavor roars with resiny, bitter hops plus banana, pear, malty and grassy tones. Mouthfeel presents good body and subtle but lasting fizz. Wonder what sort of beer they brew in Westeros. Heeeeeeeeere dragon, dragon, dragon!

    Tornado of carbonation through the glass with a white frothy cap that stays forever. Eventually some thick lacing. Light yellow colour with lots of yeast particles floating around. Aromas of citrus, grass, wheat, spices and honey. The taste is floral with the grassy hops giving nice bitterness. Hard to taste the wheat, but balances things. Another good one.

    750ml cork and cage bottle from LCBO. Pours a huge foamy bubbly white head and has a hazy golden appearance with sediments clearly visible. Leaves some dirty lacing behind. Aromas are wheaty, some notes of yeast, citrus and floral hops, quite nice. Flavours are mostly wheaty, yeasty and citrusy. Also some hints of bananas, spices and oats. Some nice hoppy notes and little bitterness but nothing too overwhelming, very well balanced. Lively carbonation. Has a nice smooth and creamy mouthfeel, very silky. Good stuff!
