Ommegeddon is one of the great beer names, designed to capture the idea of explosively wild flavors. It's not an exaggeration: this is a really excellent American take on a wild Belgian ale. Due to my own failure to follow the bottle instructions, this poured with almost no head, a straw color, with a saison/yeasty nose. The flavour is where the wildness really emerges, with a real sense that it was brewed right on the farm. It's got a delicious rawness and goes perfectly with good strong cheese!
