t Smisje Wostyntje

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange amber body with a tan head. Sweet alcohol latent fruits, candi sugar, unrefined malty sugars. Dry spicy mustard seed and a dry woodiness. Pepper spice. more spices. good brew.

I like the mustard flavor. And it had a beautiful head. It’s everything about this beer I don’t like. It’s sour and not in a good lambic way. It’s thin and overcarbonated. It’s borderline gross.

11.2 oz. bottle, consumed on 1-19-09. This bottle probably had at about 2 years of age on it, maybe more. Appetizing, complex, intriguing, tart, yeasty, floral aroma of apple juice, dust, chalk, white grape juice, honey, and yellow plum. Smells like a musty tripel. Pours a bright, dark gold to bronze color. Moderate amount of eggshell-colored head. Effervescent; tons of bubbles. I poured half of the beer out at first and the second half after I had consumed the first half. The first half poured mostly clear with some haze. The second half was cloudy and milky with a lot of suspended particulate and looked like apple cider. White wine, white vinegar, and white grape juice flavors. Dry, tart, and fruity. The taste is not as complex as the aroma. Not particularly spicy or mustardy. Medium body. The palate effects are not remarkable. I was a little worried about the mustard, but Wostyntje was in no way offensive and actually pretty good.

It is slightly hazy, warm golden with a huge, white and creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, mustard, spice, yeast and plastic. The flavour has notes of malt, mustard (with a slightly burning feel), coriander, yeast, a very light sweetness and bitterness, and it ends on a dry and spicy note. I tried it with the New Year cod fish, but I quickly switched to another one.

The best mustard seed beer I have ever tasted. Musty dry spice with a bitter finish. Worth trying. Pair it carefully, no hot dogs.

Very cloudy pour with ivory head about an 1/3 an inch. I think knowing this had mustard seed has affected the rest of my thoughts though. Still, I enjoyed this and went well with my sausages.

Pours dirty dark gold straw with off white head. The aroma is sweet sugar, some spice and then mustard mixing in too. The taste is much the same with sweet sugar, sweet malts, sweet dark fruity esters, some mild spices and then light amounts of mustard and hops. Nice brew. It could really use more mustard to bring about a more interesting beer. As is, the mustard is just faint and deep in the background.

Danke, ajm. Pours a light golden color from the bottle with a faint white head. You can smell the spicy mustard in this beer from across the room. That said, it’s potent and aggressive with a variety of peppers, apricot, and possibly blood. Would definitley be amazing with sausage.
