Rosetta Sour Ale: 5.5 – This is another ‘does what it says on the tin’ it certainly is more of a sour compared to other types of beers. You also get a lot of that cherry. Is it a mind-blowingly complex or amazing tasting cherry sour – no. But it’s good, just you know – a sour ale with cherry.
Price Average: $12 for 4-pack cans

Apripeche: 7.5 – It’s a tart ale with apricot and peach which you can guess by the name. As always Ommegang delivers as it balances that sweet peach and tart apricot. It’s virtue is by not being a true sour, and really keeping that wheat ale like flavor with the additional fruit and tartness. Overall it’s just nice to drink.

Hand of the Queen: 4.0 – The last of the 4 pack of GoT beers because we already reviewed one. Man that episode was killer huh? #topical #nospoilers #peaksellout. It appears we finally found it folks – a GoT beer that takes a risk, and sadly doesn’t pay it off well despite the Lannister it’s namesake refers too. This barleywine style is just a bit too bold in flavor and almost even feels barrel aged. We wouldn’t say this is bad, but it does require a certain type of person who likes this style (as in unlike others in this box it’s not a beer for everyone)
Price Average: $25 for 4-pack with glass

King in the North: 6.0 – The barrel aging here adds some sweetness but does not override everything. At least it’s not ruined, but add that to the chocolate and this is a dessert in the glass. Overall could be better, but it is a solid beer as usual from Ommegang and this line of beers.

Queen of the Seven Kingdoms: 7.0 – Now we are a more long form review site, very rarely paying attention to hip new things, but we have fallen into the Game of Thrones Marketing trap with this purchase. (Being from Ommegang helps immensely) We will be continuing this 4-pack for the next 3 weeks because we already reviewed one.
As for the beer itself as a sour it’s not too crazy, but as a blonde it’s quite unique. The citrus is lovely and overall it’s simply a well executed beer as expected from Ommegang.

Mother of Dragons: 7.5 – Much like Daenerys that title is really really long. The beer however is really really good though, so hail to the breaker of chains. Not a huge surprise as Ommegang even with these beers are middling at worst. But that cherry flavor isn’t ruined by a smoked porter flavor, and it really does blend together nicely. The beer color is also amazingly poignant.
Price Average: $13

Abbey Dubbel Ale: 6.0 – It’s a nice & meaty dubbel and being the first beer made from Ommegang it’s no surprise how they’re style has been there all along, and only gotten better with every new brew.
Price Average: $10

Lovely, Dark and Deep: 7.5 – While there have been a few stinkers, Ommegang has done very well in making good beers, and this is not an exception. It is a delicious Oatmeal stout, but that being said you still expected something spectacular from them.
Price Average: $12 for 6-pack

Abbey Ale Dubbel: 6.5 – There’s some meat and fruit, and it’s really nice tasting. The problem is while not sugary – the sweetness here is just a bit too much to make it not great.
Price Average: $9

Grains of Truth: 7.0 – This is another successful beer from Ommegang with a flavorful harvest ale that has close to the perfect amount of hops you want in a beer like this.
Price Average: Grains of Truth $10 for 4-Pack
