On to the beer!
Brewer: Ommegang Brewing Company; NY
Beer Name: Bend the Knee (Jon Snow)
Beer Syle: Golden Ale Brewed w/ Honey
Price: About $10 at Friar Tuck's.
Aroma: Belgiuny is all I'm getting. John concurs. Nothing else. No honey, no nothing.
Appearance: Cloudy and golden. A very nice pour and a nice beer to look at. A whole lot of floaties at the bottom of the bottle. Almost chunky.
Mouthfeel: Very tingly here. A lot going on as it passes over the tounge.
Taste: Slightly hoppy, slightly belgiuny; very balanced and smooth. John says it tastes like a wheat with the Belgiun flavor. It gets stronger as it gets toward the bottom. It is slightly harsh as it ends.
Overall rating: I'm going 3.0. John says a 3.75. Very precise. Just slightly less than a 3.8 but definitely better than a 3.7. He has a very refined palate.
Brewer: Ommegang Brewing Company; NY
Beer Name: Seven Kingdoms
Beer Style: Hoppy Wheat Ale
Price: About $10 at Friar Tucks
Aroma: Smeels citrusy and fresh. It reminds me of a dryer sheet before you throw it in. John says it has a belgiuny smell with more hops. I'm not sure I smell that but I trust John's snoot.
Appearance: Very clear and light gold. Almost looks like Bud Light. Not quite as clear as Coors Light. John says its definitely unfiltered as their are chunkies floating around.
Mouthfeel: Light and smooth. Very little to do.
Taste: A little hoppy but not overpowering. Citrusy, smooth, and a little wheat in between. John says a little belgiuny and definitely more hoppy then the other one.
Overall rating: John says it tastes like the first one except its more hoppy. He says a 3.75 again. I'm going 4.0. I think this is really good. As in buy it for the beer; not the name. Its delicious.
