“Scythe & Sickle is our foray into honoring the harvest season, taking the finest malts and blending them seamlessly into a rich amber ale,” says Brew Master Phil Leinhart. “Farming is about precision, timing and care, and this gently sweet ale is our testament to the craft and care of farming.” 

This is the first time I see an Ommegang 4 pack beer. Needless to say, name aside, I had to try it. Smells of flowers, Belgian bread, caramel and some minor raisin. The taste is actually like a rye or sourdough multi-grain bread, minor caramel, pear, peach, banana, lemon, pepper, herbs, spices and bitter tea. Definitely right for the harvest season. While sweet pumpkin beers is the thing around fall, this one brings forth some real autumn taste and fragrance. Biere de Garde fans will like this one, although I have a hankering for some JP Fuego Del Otoño which is more of a camp smoke and Fall Leaves type of beer. Check my earlier reviews 😀
