Pale amber, cold haze. Uneven pearling. Slim, but relatively stable white head. Nose with candi sugar, herbal. Strange garden herbs, unidentifiable, and preserved orange rind. Taste: weird. The taste impression says orange, kumquat; sweet base and sourish from carbonation (tingling sensation), but the mouthfeel says just *flat!*, as if no saturation at all. Somebody suggested a sour mash, and I can relate to that, only it seems to have fallen flat. There's again some herbal taste (mannah?) and the citrussy finish is consistent throughout. 'Dikke Mathile' is a beer, coming from a brewery whose strength is in Flemish Oud bruin style. They've done everything to avoid that association here. Well, they succeeded *some* way.

Clear light orange color. Sweet yeasty aroma. Sweet malts. Caramelly. Long sweet finish.
