Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Cooperstown, New York USA
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.
Tasting Notes:
Pours nice reddish pink with a nice fluffy white head that lasts. Great looking beer, carbed perfectly. Aroma is a bit subdued, but has notes of some pear, apricot, apple, some slight floral, funky brett notes, touch of earth, grape notes in there as well. Taste is rich, tart and delicious, the fruit complimenting very well. Creamy mouthfeel is pretty spot on. Tastes include tropical fruit, pear, dried apricot, apple, tart funky notes as well in there some barnyard and musty earth, complimenting with some nice floral hibiscus notes as well. Tasty, tasty brew, no sign of the alcohol at all. Refreshing, easy to drink.
