Ommegang Game of Thrones Queen of the Seven Kingdoms

This 6.4% ABV blend of sour and blonde ales is from the Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York. Ommegang is part of the Duvel family, and is essentially a Belgian brewery plopped down in New York State. It is one of their special releases tied to the HBO television series Game of Thrones


The beer pours a hazy golden, tints of straw and lemon yellow. There is a tall, thick head of white foam. The aroma is tart, fruity, lemon, flowers, yeast esters. The taste follows the aromas, adding in bread and honey, along with the tart and yeast flavors. There is both sweet and tart, and the finish is quite dry, with a light floral bitterness. The beer drinks with a fine, biting carbonation.
