2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: DEC 15, 2011 In short: A strange yeasty messy Belgian blonde ale with a not-so-pleasant mustard flavour.
How: Bottle 330ml. Consumed when about 1 year old.
The look: Cloudy golden body with lots of particles. Medium white head
In long: Nose is yeasty, grassy, herbal and marmalade. Strange but not unpleasant aroma. Taste is a huge letdown. The advertised mustard seeds didn’t show up in the aroma but in the taste, oh boy! The beer actually has a taste of commercial prepared yellow mustard. Berk. Next to the annoying mustard flavour I got jelly beans, mangos, banana cake, coriander, mineral spiciness. No alcohol presence. A strange gelatinous sensation all around. The beer is really not that bad at all, maybe I paid too much attention to the mustard flavour because I read on the label that it was made with mustard seeds. I don’t know if it is reading the label and the ingredients that made me focus on the weird flavours. Maybe drinking this beer is like eating hot-dogs, you don’t want to think too much about what it contains.

Bottle [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a murky orange with lots of sediment and an average size somewhat-lasting white head. Aroma of sweet malt, alcohol, yeast, citrus fruit and a hint of hops -- didn’t really get any mustard. Yeasty flavour along with some honey, caramel malt, very light hops and some spices -- again, no mustard. Astringent finish. Medium bodied. Just O.K.
