Silly Sour Ale

Coming from the brew minds and yeasts of Belgium, the Silly Sour Ale from Brasserie de Silly is a tasty little sour ale to get those juices flowing.  Pouring a lovely copper with a solid, but fairly quickly dissipating head, the beer smells of flowers, malts, and wheat.  The taste is tart, but not overly so, the sourness working with the subtle sweeter flavors and caramel notes.  At 5.5% ABV, this is a great party beer for those looking for something more unique.  Hooray Belgium!

Omer Traditional Blond Ale

I don't know what it is about Belgians, but they make good beer.  Up to bat is the Traditional Blond from Omer Brewery.  The beer is a nice golden color, with slight red tinting, and a nice head that dissipates quickly.  Nice aromas of fruit and bread are evident at first pour with some maltiness to even it out.  The beer tastes much like it smells, but with some added lemon flavor.  All in all, it's a light, refreshing beer that hides its 8% ABV very well.  A great brew for a summer evening.
