pig nun. hazy darker yellow with a tight head. subtle funk upfront with some sweet yeast and old fruit. smooth and slightly sweet. tart flavor is minimal but does have a very different grainy aftertaste. crisp finish.

750 ml bottle - cloudy yellow with thickly textured head; aromas of yeast and a slight hint of fruit; smooth and subtle flavors with very mild aftertaste

Flemish Primitive #5 Demon Fish, thanks to SOLAN! Funk, candied green apple skins, a little sweet a little sour in the aroma. Pours golden blonde. Tart brett right away, hoppy, almost alittle catty, the aftertaste is like stale cereal (capn crunch), but after a few sips it is less cereal-like, it does have a concentrated sweetness. Great upfront, but i’m not so into the aftertaste, which reminds me of an old british ale thats past its prime.

Reinaert Flemish Wild Ale

9/25/2007: Reinaert Flemish Wild Ale is golden orange in color with some sediment in it. The head is foamy, large, and off-white in color. The aroma is acidic, but some malty and carmelized sugar still comes through. The flavor is slightly sour and has a distint green apple quality to it. It is quite tart and puckering at times, but very refreshing and difficult to stop drinking! There is also a slight bit of oxidation present. Averall this is a very satisfying sour ale that actually smells more sour than it tastes.

750 mL corked and caged bottle (9% alc./vol.) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #302 for this beer...

Cloudy yellow color with a thin white head. very musty aroma and alot of blue cheese and funk. tastes about the same. Not bad at all just differennt. A little fruit in there too.

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a small, unassuming white head. Smell: Gah! Extremely funky doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s like a huge hunk of Stilton wrapped in a horse blanket and smothered in rotten, zombified fruit husks and topped with a drizzle of high-quality honey. Taste: Light breadiness with a large amount of melted blue cheese, who’s flavor grows more and more as time goes on. Sharp, funky flavor like chowing down on a pair of swimming trunks forgotten in a car trunk for a couple weeks in the middle of summer, and though I’d never imagine myself saying this about a beer, here goes: it’s painfully cheesy. Vague fruitiness, like molded melon rinds. There’s a drying bitterness throughout, particularly on the spicy, sour finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: These De Proef Flemish Primitive beers really put you to work, don’t they?

Nice spiced aroma, flavor starts out a little citrusy and tart, with some nice spice. But it all heads south with the finish. Its heavy-sweet and bitter. The alcohol becomes apparent not to long after you’ve swallowed. I could slightly enjoy this one, but the finish reminded me a little of vomit. Not the best.
