Aroma: Brett, ripe fruit, spices and citrus
Taste: Light mouthfeel of citrus, peppery, barnyard, herbal with a tart dry finish
Very nice, refreshing and enjoyable.

On tap at the Vintage Estates, thanks Nuts. Very light appealing beery hay aroma. Light yellow and slightly hazy. Creamy head. Barely any carbonation on the palate. Rather crisp and refreshing for an 8% beer. You’d never know this is rather high alky, it is very well behaved and friendly. Wet wool blanket feel on the tongue. Friendly and easy to like. Some spices in the background. Does have a slight veggie spice attitude about it. Not thick and syrupy at all, Very lively. Cannot recall much bitterness on the finish, if any.

Bottle courtesy of fun-haver (gunhaver). This batch 1 brew pours hazy apricot with almost no head. The aroma is fruity with pears, smooth ripe cherries, boysenberries and a bit of tart and funk. The taste is fruity with apples, berries, faint tartness and a sense of earthy funkiness. Nice.

Been carefully cellaring this bottle for ages. I began reviewing on BeerPal in February 2007 and bought this bottle at the now-defunct Rick's that summer, so it's batch #1 of June 2007. As we're nearing the end of January 2014, and I my seven-year anniversary on BeerPal, I figured I should drink it ("Cellar up to two years," ha ha). Beautiful light and hazy gold with a rocky and persistent cap about a centimeter deep. It's kept perfectly, with no signs of corking, infection, skunking, etc. Smells of sweet lemon with caramel, even toffee or butterscotch, and a light doughy yeast. A quick hint of tartness on the tip of the tongue is followed by an intrusion of round herbal, somewhat funky bitterness, nevertheless pleasant. A mild yeastiness, notably different from some other Ommegang offerings, lingers with an unexpected whiff of black tea. This is all supported by a subtle bready sweetness underneath. Ginger came out later. Not quite as sour as I might like, but good. Nice prickle to it without overcarbonation; on the weighty side and lightly sticky.

This beer wasn't that great. I'm a HUGE Ommegang fan and this beer didn't cut it. It's supposedly activated w/ Brettanomyeves - problem is, the funk is missing. I would pass on this one - less than average

THANKS GULLY!!! For sharing this gem with me still really don’t know what it was except for awesome. (BATCH #2) Hazy straw gold body holding up a rocky white cap that leaves behind roapy lacing. The taste and aroma are just screwed it’s a mix of like three different styles, what is this?!?!?!? Aroma is sweet with non harsh burnt rubber elements, apple, floral shop, pine apple, wheat…..so unique so yummy. Taste is so sweet and smooth and no beer in history has ever come close to tasting like this. Belgian yeast, wheat, apple, tonic water, raspberry , grape juice and mild tart finish. I want more!!!!!!!!!!!! this is so complex you taste something new every sip. This is a beer that I’ll never forget and will stock up on if it ever comes to this neck of the woods.

Sampled from bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a thick, creamy white head. Very complex, earthy aroma with floral spices, apples, pineapple and grapefruit. The flavor is dominated by the yeast. Tart flavor with the same earthy, fruity yeast character as noted in the aroma. Not as much barnyard funk a I would have expected - they must have invited the bugs to the party after a well-attenuating primary yeast strain had it way with the wort. Slightly vinous with a dry, creamy finish. An original and well-made beer. This isn't "Pale Ale #33283 or American Wheat #59933," this is a beer that's worth seeking out. (Apologies to Cottrell for the quoted material)

Pours a thick- looking, cloudy gold color withthick, creamy head. The aroma is pleasant: yeasty but clean with subtle ginger topnotes. Light malt and wheat character are balanced by a great herbal hoppiness. The spicing really adds an interesting dimension. All the elements really work well together in the flavor profile. Heavenly mouthfeel: soft and creamy. Full bodied, but not to heavy. No notable warming.

Batch #3 - April 2008

Tonight my friend Rob brought over a bottle of Ommegeddon Funkhouse Ale. I absolutely love Ommegang products and was excited to get a bottle of this.

The beer has a cloudy, light amber color to it with an explosive white head that starts off thick and dies down only a little bit. It leaves behind some absolutely excellent lacing on the side of the glass as you drink it down. The aroma is that of apples, pear, yeast, and white bread.

Funkhouse is probably the proper term for this one. This definitely has a funky taste to it that really rocks. It's got a little bit of everything funky in there with some yeast, apple, hops, wheat, grains, and even a bit of tartness. It's really good and smooth drinking. I love it!

I'm definitely sold on this one. Bring me some more Rob!
