| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 9, 2005 Bottle. Quite soft and peppery. Spicey character, which i am assuming is the Mustard seeds, very subtle though, and it actually works quite well. Lightly tart mouthfeel aswell? Not too bad at all.

Very little head, medium-thick bubbles. Straw coloured, very clear.
Nose containing glue, organic solvent, yeast, banana, madeira.
Some oxidation, sweetness is main taste, not cloying. there is a spiceyness, not reminiscent of mustard however. Aftertaste as of dessertwine, with spiceyness still present: a bit like a deliberately spiced liqueur wine, with honey.
Rather good body, oxidation nothwithstanding. madsberg (5152), Søborg, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Draught. Light amber coloured. Unclear. Dense beige head. Sweetness, fruits, spice and light yeast. Flavour is a bit bland. Fruits, spice and yeast notable. Is medium bodied. Has a somewhat watery and fruity end. MoritzF (5122), Bochum, Germany
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 22, 2009 (33cl bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet, delicately malty aroma with a distinctive sharp spicy note, almost iodinic…must be the mustard seed. Sweet and slightly sourish tart flavour, medium body with a moderate carbonation. Malt-accented and subtle fruity taste with present spicy elements; quite sourish and tart finish. Reminds me of an infected Whisky malt lager (22.06.09). MartinT (5080), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 1, 2004 Strange yet bland aroma of earthy oranges and, maybe, in the distance, mustard...Medium carbonation suggests a few sweet fruit flavors but these are bothered by this watery death clinging on to them all of the way...Like cactus water, this can be refreshing I guess in hot temperatures, but one would need to be stranded and in trouble to revisit this desertic experience...

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2004 Excellent dark blonde ale with some hints of mustard peaking through. I have a few more of these that I’m looking forward to savoring around the holidays. Definitely worth a try for anyone into blonde ales or spiced ales. Cornfield (4981), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2004 The concept of an ale brewed with mustard seeds sounds like something that my buddies & I would come up with during a night of heavy beer "sampling." (Remember, if anyone comes out with a gherkin beer, we had the idea first!) This poured a hazy golden color with a modest, fizzy white head. The aroma is slightly sour with some spicy notes. It’s medium-bodied, lightly carbonated, with tastes of oranges, sweet/sour candy, and a nice doughy malt. The finish is dry, a birt tart,and finally gives you a hint of mustard flavoring. This is worth another try.
