  Style: Belgian Blonde   Brewery: Ommegang   Country: USA   State: New York   $ Per OZ: $.31 (B)   ABV: 9%

Well how did this happen? A few years ago, December of 2023 to be precise, I enjoyed a can of Ommegang Everything Naughty, a white chocolate imperial blonde stout. I took tasting notes and still have them, but I never got around to fleshing them out into a review. Definitely need to fix that.

Anyway, here it is 2025, and I just now drank the bottle of Ommegang Everything Nice I bought around the same time. I expect I may have that backwards. Shouldn’t you be nice before you are naughty? I think I got it backwards.

Be that as it may, I really enjoyed my bottle of Ommegang Everything Nice, during my annual Christmas in July celebration. Just why does Everything Nice come in a bottle, and Everything Naughty in a can? I’m sure I don’t know.

Here’s what Ommegang says about the beer on their website:

Lightly dusted with spices of the season, Everything Nice is a warming, wintry Belgian-style blonde ale. This supremely cozy confection pairs perfectly with any traditional holiday treat. Note the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and white pepper as you sip next to the fireplace. We hope this fresh-baked offering brings warmth and light to you and yours.

They add these ingred

Ommegang describes Everything Nice as a strong blonde ale with seasonal spices & natural and artificial flavor. The beer has an alcohol content of 9% by volume with 27 IBUs and I paid $4.99 for a single at Total Wine where it was selling for $14.99 a 4-pack at the time. My bottle label is marked Please Enjoy By 24SEP2025. I made it with two months to spare!

Ommegang Everything Nice pours to a pale golden color with a thick fluffy white head and a nose of spicy clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. Taking a sip, the beer is medium in body, and pops with biscuity malt, almond pits, cherry, fresh pungent ginger, and spicy clove. At the last it is dried by earthy nutmeg and warming with alcohol.

A truly delightful holiday treat and I am glad I saved a bottle for my July festivities. If I see it again this holiday season, I will buy it.

Glad I tried it?  T

Would I rebuy it??
