De Proef Flemish Primitive

Bottle is labeled Reinaert Flemish Wild Ale. Pours a translucent yellow-orange with little head. Fruity aroma of banana, tart cherry, lemon, and barnyard. Flavor is a bit weak. Subtle citrus flavors with pineapple coming more noticeable than anything else. Not really sour with a bit of brettanomyces in the finish. Not too bad if not forgettable.

This had to be a bad bottle, given the other rankings. Yellowish still body. The aroma reminded me a freshly used hockey gym bag that just had a wet dog sleep in it. It was undrinkable. Flat out. Worst thing I can ever recall drinking. Sets the floor. My experience really deserved 1s across the board but RB will not allow me to submit that.

Sample from bottle at Collins Pub. Believe it was the Spoon Wacker. Could not handle this one, nor could anyone at the table. The brett hops were overwhelming, leading to an aroma of funk that was too, too much. Nearly everyone remarked that it smelled of gym shoes or feet. Not easy to drink, with more of the same flavors, alcohol and not really any sour at all.

Great citrus nose with a smooth mouth feel. Very complex beer that i am not ashamed to admit may be a bit beyond me. I get some wheat and citrus flavors, a little bit of hop, and something very prevalent that i cannot place, perhaps it is the brett. Nice white head with a cloudy dark dark yellow pour

Bomber of Surly Bird. Musty farmhouse nose. Flavor starts with some sweetness and a refreshing citrus feel, then hits hard with the musty funk. A little rough late to call it refreshing or easy drinking, but it’s interesting a good beer to drink slowly or pair with food. It went really well with my spicy dinner.

foggy golden color with a HUGE white head that fades off leaving little to no lace, aroma is all horse blanket brett, wow huge flavor with a lot going on, I’m first hit with some initial malt sweetness and huge hop bitters, then there’s some bretty flavors melded into the malt sweetness, then it turns bitter and malty again for the finish, this is not at all sour (at all) but has quite a bit of funk to it. You can tell that there is some alcohol in there warming you up but it is not at all hot or unpleasant it’s hidden very well but sneaks up and warms you from the inside, this is a very hoppy example, reminds of the dry hop flavor that Orval gets after being aged for quit some time, a great beer I really like the funk it offers up

very cloudy light orange-yellow with small ricky white head. very citrus-y aroma, with a yesty sourness, a little cinammon and spice, and a hint of caramel. flavor is more upfront with warm alcohol and toasted caramel malt. the rest is sour and citrus-y, but no vinegar. effervescent texture and a bit of a thin body. more funk and lemon rind as it warms, and some intense lavender. floaties! very good.

Bottle pours straw colored golden yellow with a slight haze. Head was white and dissipated quickly. Aroma is barnyard and some brett. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is more barnyard and brett. Carbonation is high. This is a very tasty brew. Nice.
