bager (2121), Copenhagen N, Denmark Jan 23, 2006 Updated: Dec 23, 2006Tap. Good and persistant head. A bit of citrus and vanilla. Pale golden in color. Overall a pretty good wheat beer.
22/12/06: Now also tried on bottle under the alias Mannekes Pies. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Jan 12, 2006 Aroma of popcorn and vanilla play with some hops. Taste is similar and lightly sweet, though thin and citrus does kick in a bit. unibaren (145), 8000 Århus C, Denmark Jan 3, 2006 Sampled 25 cl bottle labeled: Gensch Mannekes Pies. Pretty weak citrus-dominated aroma. Slightly hazy pale yellow color. Fast disappearing head. Light body with medium strength citrusy aftertaste. Not unpleasant in any way - just uninteresting. Oakes (8058), gone rambling, Vietnam Dec 1, 2005 Cloudy yellow colour. Malty, cheesy aroma - though purists would argue this is not actually cheese but some vile plasticy crap that calls itself cheese. The French certainly wouldn’t call it cheese and I suspect the Belgians wouldn’t either. That kind of cheese. Not something I want to smell in a beer, to say the least. The body is tart and watery with only a hint of coriander and an accent of nutmeg. A shade of a wit, and evidence that without vigilant stewardship, legacies have no staying power. pivo (2535), Germany Nov 13, 2005 This isn’t as good as I remember it about 10 (or more?) years ago. There was a beer festival under the Brooklyn Bridge around the same time Pierre was debuting his beers in American. I was taken by this beer then. Something has changed, I’m sure. Slight sulfur musty nose. Hazy pale orange color with a fluffy white head. Corriander notes with some banana amidst a thin wheat body. Dainty napkin dry end. Creamy mouth feel. Quick and refreshing. Dorqui (1353), Brescia, Italy Oct 28, 2005 Updated: Sep 14, 2007Draught at Unicorn Scottish Pub (Brescia). Compact foam and of good persistence. Yellow color pale. Little fizzy with a lean body. Little dense and evanescent. SilkTork (4156), Rochester, Kent, England Oct 28, 2005 Keg - Unfiltered, Man Of Kent, Rochester. Hints of sourness. Some vanilla. Slightly dry. Some warm woody spice. Faint hints of chocolate in the background. Whiff of baby vomit, returning in the swallow. More character than Hoegaarden (which I drank immediately after), but lacking in passion. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Oct 24, 2005 Light cloudy yellow color, small layer of a head. Soapy and sulphury nose - weird. Intense mustardseed taste, thin and artificial.
