250 mL bottle at the Esplanade Biermarkt. Didn’t have it with mussels. I don’t even like mussels. Amber-orange with a head that means well, but doesn’t have the legs to finish the race. Nice lacing, though. The aroma is kinda sweet; not much else. Tastes kinda like a sweetened pilsner. Maybe a little oxidized. Maybe mussels would make this taste better.

I’ll thrink this on terras at Yerseke self. Amber colour, yellow head, over clear caramel-coloured beer. Sweet nose, honey ?, malty. Sweet taste. Medium body. Not bad, whatever, it’s drinkable but not a great beer.

gold blond coloured body with a white head a creamy aroma and a malty creamy taste and a malty creamy finich

Tasting at Brewtopia. Boring. Gold pour, white head. Aroma is malty, grainy and almost some butter. Flavor isnt that great. Almost has a stale malt/yeast flavor...not well done at all.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2003 Not much taste.

Beers of Europe. I had the fear when i saw Mussel beer as i cant eat sea food. Aroma is pale lager malts with some sweet candy sugar type stuff and grassy with hints of peppery hops. Taste is more lager malt base with a grassy and slight hints as salty finish. Luckily the seafood was no where to be scene.

250ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. A bottle conditioned pale lager. Buttery flavour - not full diacetyl, more pleasant. A little dirty tasting from the yeast. Crisp carbonation. Apart from the carbonation this is like a British Golden Ale, but it’s a lager - which some of the British Golden Ales are. It’s more interesting than the average lager, but it’s not that good, and it’s not that tasty.

Bottled, 330ml from Marche de Natalie, Bouillon, Belgium. Clouded pale orange with white head. Not quite what I expected, this is a sweetish, candy like, yeasty beer, thin on the palate and with little substance. Maybe a hint of herb, little in the way of hops. Not terribly good.

I’ve always been wondering what this beer tasted like. It’s not the fishy taste i expected. Looks pretty good, cloudy orange-brown color. Bit malty aroma and taste. Quite ok.

25 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Dry brewmash aroma. Oxidised flavour with notes of caramel and dry malt base. Ends dry and malty. Bottle was 1 year after BBD, would be nice to rerate a fresher bottle.
