2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
1st December 2006
Early amateur rating warning! Tastles like a full bodied lager - not bad though! Can’t taste any mustard!
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy orange-amber color with a large foamy tan head. The aroma was bready and spice with the mustard seed definitely noticeable. The flavor was bitter, tart and bready with a fairly strong mustard element. The finish was long, bitter and tart with mustard lingering. Medium body. Quite odd.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Fat fat fat head. Deep orange color. Belgian spice/tripel aroma. Wow! This tastes really great. I wasn’t expecting much, given it’s low rating, but mmmmmm. Can’t really taste any mustard, but I’m glad I took a chance on this one. Very nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Poured a slightly murky, hazy golden yellow with an off-white head. The aroma was mostly Belgian yeast and spices. Very nice and interesting flavor although I don’t think I could clearly make out the mustard.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cool little shorty 11.2oz bottle from Brewforia
Appearance: Pours a thick hazy yellow/amber with a huge frothy white head and lots of lacing in the glass
Aroma: Sharp spices, peppery and sweet malts
Taste: Belgian yeast, peppery, sweet malts, caramel and spices
A very unique beer, lots of spices but drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
effervescent cloudy hay gold body with a billowing white head. lemon rind zest and perfumed/soapy belgian yeast (cobwebs, barnyard) combined with a faint herbal/wildflower note that has to be the mustard seed. effervescent and bubbly carbonation with a medium-light dry body. mild candy sugar sweetness tempered somewhat by the herbal character of the yeast and spice. interesting but uninspiring.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours dirty blonde with a small fizzy white head. Nose is fruity & spicy yeast. Fruity tartness in flavor. Dry finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Mitra Bergen. Nice murky orange body with huge head. Nose is very yeasty and sweet with mustard notes. Taste is difficult to pin down. Some light malts, water, sweet and plenty of mustard in the finish. Respect. But not sure I like it. To be honest my first sip I thought beer was expired and I usually love this brewer...
