andywandy (18), England Dec 24, 2006 Drank from a bottle at home. It was purchased from bruge in Belgium. It has a great taste of spices that fill the mouth and perhaps the brain. Very healthy brown lookign body with no alcohol aroma at all. thomat (666), Göteborg, Sweden Dec 19, 2006 Dark redish brown with a thick off-white head. Malt, yeast and spicy notes.
Full bodied with a bittersweet finish. Furseth (1328), Kungälv, Sweden Dec 11, 2006 Bottle: Deep hazy red colour, big creamy white head.
Aroma of citrus, flowers,lots of malt, Vine, jeast.
Flavor was, almost the same as the aroma+ dry hopy mouth feeling, medium to full body, medium finish. Werry Nice!! after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 28, 2006 750. Pours a dark cloudy copper with a thick, bubbly white head. The aroma’s strong, but still hard to pin down--sour and peppery, with something of a roast tomato tang to it. Interesting but fairly new and different and attention-grabbing. Interesting that it’s called Montagnarde; it does kind of remind me of the sour fish sauce (nuoc maum) that the montagnards ate (and made popular) in Viet Nam. Sharply fizzy attack, bold flavors, and medium-high body. Odd bitter aftertaste. Roasty, sour, tomato-y, fishy, malt-y, ginger-y mid-palate. Puzzling, in some ways--unexpected flavors and they’re a bit hard to reconcile with finding in a beer. The sour, tart, puckery tang of what’s there may just be striking me oddly tonight, though. Definitely one to recommend, one to buy again. Just hard to explain/describe. gnoff (3560), Göteborg, Sweden Nov 13, 2006 (Bottle) Fruity banana and apricot, citrus, scent. Some Belgian ale yeast and alcohol, no noticable hops in the aroma. Good head. Clear color, golden to amber. Malty sweet and also alcohol sweet, warming alcohol. Fruity taste with a faint acidic aftertaste. Low hops in the taste and also low bitterness. Big body and high co2 level. Great Belgian that you want more of. Very nice touch with the apricot and banana. gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Nov 11, 2006 Bottle. Dark golden colour with a beige head. Aroma is sugar, yeast. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, yeast, fruit, hop. BelgiskOlklub (397), Viby J, Denmark Nov 5, 2006 Updated: Aug 28, 2007Heavy yeast sediment, amber colour, rocky head, medium bitterness, medium sweetness, lively. Alcohol in the finish. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 2, 2006 Clear copper color with tall pillowy light tan head. Big carbonation. Aroma of grains, hay, spicy hops, citrus hops and Belgium yeast. Great tasting beer. First there is spicy bitter hops then some sweet caramel malts which lead into more grainy pale malts. Next the flavor becomes sweet orange citrus mixed with yeast spiciness and brown sugar. Excellent beer
