Week 2: Ommegang Abbey Ale
Ommegang is located in Cooperstown, NY. Despite the great distance between the brewery and the country from which it draws its inspiration, Ommegang manages to transport the beer connoisseur deep into the heart of Belgium with their bold, flavorful brews.
Ommegang Abbey Ale is an excellent example of a classic Belgian dubbel. It pours a rich hazy red, with a light tan head. The aroma is a pungent blend of spicy, citrusy orange with sweet, ripe fruit and malt.
The flavor follows suit... full bodied, almost chewy ripe fruit flavors are well balanced with a spicy yeast finish.

I had a Belgian archaeology professor who came to the US specifically to visit the Ommegang brewery.
