Ommegang BPA Belgian Style Pale Ale mixes it up with Karl, who loves Cheese

Karl's here and he loves Cheeeeeese, in case you were wondering. Instead of Karl Thursday Night beer, we're doing it tonight, Tuesday. Karl is going to Europe in May and laying out the details to the recently finalized, which includes a wine festival in the Ron Burgundy area, known for their wine and blueberry colored suits, and then cavorting through Germany with more festivals. He also plans to visit a Belgian Abbey at some point. I hate Karl.

Just kidding, how can I hate a face like that?

The last of Karl's New York brothers Ommegang package, he originally purchased it believing it was the Double Belgian Ale (DBA), rather than the Belgian Pale Ale (BPA). Who said Dyslexia wasn't a real condition?

Ommegang is mixing styles here and the result is just as advertised. The BPA is super carbonated with a bready and malty taste that is also light and sweet, like a pale ale. The unfamiliar style mix took me by surprise initially, but I really enjoyed it after a few sips. David hates his beer, but Karl and I like it. TRANSFORMERS rating.  This beer is similar to a 'diet' drink, which promises the same taste without the calories or sugar. This beer tastes like a Belgian but is as light and smooth as an American Pale Ale.

Karl's take on the beer is, "BPA is a pale that's not real wimpy. It has a Belgian Golden taste but it's softer on the palette." He is always more eloquent than me. I really hate Karl.
