La Jamboise de Bister

Straw - gold with brilliant white head and typical belgian lace. It has a nice light grainy aroma. Though I cannot detect the mustard in this beer, it is extremely quaffable with fruity ester aromas and flavours and perfect balance.

Hazy light amber with strange greenish shine. This beer has a massive froth with the caracteristics of wipped egg-white. Complex nose with good maltyness, some honey, barnyard aromas, yeast and some herbal spices. The taste is complex and has a smooth mouthfeel with a good livelyness. Taste of malts, honey, buttercake, fresh stonefruits and touches of sage, laurel and fine hop selections. A very good beer with an original taste. At the KULMINATOR in Antwerp.

(bottle) Hazy and pale orange colour with a big foamy lasting white head. Floral hoppy aroma with citric, yeasty and spicy elements. Medium sweet flavour and carbonation. Initially malty sweet taste with a musty spiced and smooth bitterhoppy finish. A great experience, especially the mustard blended finish.

Head is intially large, frothy, rocky, white, fully lasting. Body is hazy medium yellow, dense tiny particles, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately hoppy (citrus - lemon, herbs, flowers), lightly malty (cookie), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of coriander and clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Very brisk, bright, and pleasantly tart...this is, to me, very close to a witbier, and as such a very good one. Mustard seed is really not that apparent to me.

orange colour, big creamy head, nice lace, fresh and spicy, full-bodied, slightly tart (here comes the mustard! but stays very subtle), long dry bitter finish - well-balanced and interesting
