Ommegang Aphrodite is a very limited Belgian Lambic ale at 8.9% ABV. My brother gave me this one for Christmas. Amazing fruit beer. When I poured it it was really red like a very fine red wine. This beer or more of a wine that many beers I have tried previously. It is so good I have to put the description as made by the Ommegang website: http://www.ommegang.com/index.php?mcat=1&scat=14&spclty=1
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite rises from the foam of the waves of the sea, enchanting all who see her, and inciting thoughts of love and lust where ever she goes.
We could hardly say it more eloquently. Our Limited Edition Aphrodite Ale is ethereal, intriguing and mysterious – as the Goddess Aphrodite must have been. Aphrodite has champagne-like carbonation, much as the foam of the waves of the sea. Plus enchanting flavors with whispers of raspberry and pear, and hints of funk and tartness created by the Brett yeast. The refreshing dryness comes from the unusual combination of Ommegang and Brett yeasts, and incites feelings of love and thirst, though we don’t know about lust. Grains of paradise are infused into the nectar, and when poured Aphrodite is crowned with a luxuriously shimmering rose-pink head.) The beer is like a raspberry pear bread with raisins. The there is some tart cranberry but not too sour like some wines. Just amazing vanilla and raspberry are in there. It is alot like trying some delicious ice cream with raspberry and gummy bears. Very sweet but not as heavy as the Fort. Although fort is extremely delicious, this is more of a you come and you’re partner meets you with a nice massage and dinner. Awesome, awesome AWESOME!… Don’t let this wine beer pass you up people. You can’t go wrong if you like fruit beers. Especially this one… seriously… she’s there for you to embrace and enjoy ^.^.b …… just don’t get her angry ;P…
