pushkinwow (7), Ontario, Canada does not count Aug 26, 2008 So maybe we got a bad bottle but the first comments have to be direct comments from the people around the table:
"I’d rather like my cats ass" from my wife. "If you barfed in a can and aged it in a can for twenty years it would taste better then this beer" kelly.
As for semi-serious comments this was one of the worst beers I have ever had. The only redeaming quality was that the aroma was better then it tasted - which smelt like burst mustard and tin. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 8, 2008 Amber pour with thin fizzy head. Yeasty mustard aroma. Sweet malts up front with a spicy mustard finish. very strange beer BoBoChamp (1334), Gent, Belgium Jul 28, 2008 33cl, brew with mustard seeds, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex, cloudy, small head, nothing special AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jul 27, 2008 Light amber with a fleeting head. Earthy, yeasty aroma with Dijon mustard. Medium body. Flavor starts with mildly sweet malt then turns to spicy, earthy mustard seed. Different in a good way. borisz (180), Netherlands Jul 26, 2008 33CL bottle, very citrus, golden color, sparkling, aminimal head, medium body, sticky, lively, long finish, csbosox (1076), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jul 26, 2008 11.2oz bottle. I have had this bottle for 6-12 months. Served in a duvel tulip a couple minutes out of the small beer fridge. Aroma is candi sugar, bosc pear, floral and earthy, the mustard aroma is very faint and comes across sweet & herbal. There is also a touch of dark caramel. Dark orange/golden color with a smallish off-white head. Hazy. The initial taste is sweet, fruity (apples, pears), mustard (very complex and mysterious) followed by a bit of woodsy red wine vinegar (Flanders red-ish), more fruit, and a lingering mustard that comes across as a complex, sweet spice. Well attenuated. There is a definite and welcome maltiness due to the munich malt used in the grist. This is a well made beer and now I know what mustard seeds taste like in beer. kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 18, 2008 33cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark copper color with a massive white foamy head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet, spicy and floral with notes of yeast, bread and ripe fruit. Flavor is somewhat disappointing and bland. Some smoky notes are present with dark ripe sweet fruit but little else. Generally watery mouthfeel and a quick finish. UnsofistaCat (222), Garden City, Michigan, USA Jul 17, 2008 swamp water in appearence. weird and exotic tasting. little bit of pickel juice, but sweet. this may very well be the worst job of describing a beer on this site.
