3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
It’s a hazy orange with a billowy white head. Very sweet and fruity in the nose with some spiciness from the hops. I’m not picking up any mustard seed aroma.
Boozy and sweet but a strident spicy hoppiness (Challenger and East Kent Goldings according to the label) give it some balance. I’m not sure I would notice the mustard seed flavors if I didn’t know they were there but underneath the hops is a distinct bitterness of the mustard seed. Sticky body with a strong lingering hoppiness with a hint of mustard in the finish. Strong hoppy aftertaste.
The mustard is not as pronounced but like Wostyntje, it makes it work.

aroma is very interesting. nice spicy, brown mustard notes in the nose. then the flavor kicks in and nothing special. mustard has nothing to work against or with. large alcohol bite to this.

Gusher! Pours a cloudy orange color with floating sediment and a huge rocky white head.
Aroma is very fruity with, orange peel, malts and hops. Taste is malty with some fruits, especially orange, a decent bitterness and some alcohol warmth. Aftertaste is bitter. Decent carbonization and a good drinkability due to the bitter dryness.
Overall a decent beer.
