De Proef Flemish Primitive

Courtesy of Pialhead. Golden, slightly hazy with no head. Initial aroma is sour/tart fruit and flowers. Flavor is exactly like aroma would indicate. Sour/tartness up front with some flowery notes throught the middle and finish. flower like character is more pronounced in flavor. Sort of a hopped up flemish sour. Different but enjoyable.

Pig Nun version rated here but Surly Bird was sampled earlier. First off I should say that this reminds me more of a Flemish Sour than just a typical Strong Ale. Pours a light orange color with a thick and lasting white head. Delightful aroma reminds me of sour peaches, apples, and cherries. Some bready notes as well. Taste is wonderfully tart without being too mouth puckering or sour. Tons of slightly sour fruits and a crisp dry finish. I’m surprised by the alcohol content, I would have guessed that this beer was around 6.5% ABV based on the taste. Fantastic job of masking the alcohol content. I could make this a regular beer.

This was a strong ale. And lots of sour for me. My father-in-law drank most of this. I wish Jimack was here to share.

Pig nun bottle at Mahars. Cloudy gold/copper with a thin white head. Smells grassy and earthy with some cherry and rasberry notes. Taste is moderately grassy with some nice sour elements.

A barnyard musty smell greets you. Nice creamy head and pale colour. The taste must be acquired, and I have had better, such as recently in Vermont. Some lemony citrus. It will surely scare off most beginners. Creamy and drinkable. I think this should be had with a meal. A strong ale? No a wild ale.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was hazy and yellow brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of sour horseblanket fruity malty . Its mouth feel is initially tingly with a lingering tingly palate and a aftertaste. Its flavor contained malt hop bread yest fruit dry mildly sour notes. An excellent beer that I would buy again.

Pig Nun. Hazy golden coloured ale with a creamy white head. Herbaceus cherries with niice grassy hops in aroma. In mouth, tingly hops and crisp malt with some ground cherries notes. Rich bodied, and alcohol warmth. Enjoyed at YEHa!05 Christmas Party on Dec. 17th, 2005.

bottle. white body with yellow golden tones and a small bubbly white head. the aroma is great and funky. lemon acidity and apples are prominent. bread flavours along with a soft funk character. very dry, earthy dust body. I can’t believe this is 9% though. pretty good though it might be missing something.
