Not much to get excited about here. In fact, this was not all that enjoyable. Dark golden pour with small, white head that diminishes to pools of bubbles. Spicy aroma of coriander. Also notes of lemon, apple cider. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. There is a bret-like tartness and sourness that could be from the mustard seed. The medium body has a water texture.

[i] Bottle at Trappistenhuis, Gent 07-12-07 [/i] Poured light amber with a thin white rim of bubbles. Didn’t note the mustard seeds but there was a nice ever so slightly sour crisp aroma. The taste was also very crisp like tasting slightly unripe apples. Wonderful tasing beer, lovely fruitiness, drying towards the finish and very moreish.

A hazy golden amber ale with a thin big bubbled off white head. I get a bit of the mustard in aroma, lightly vinagry, and notes of herbs. In mouth, a decent crisp malt, biscuitty, with very herbaceous spices, a bit too astringent, and a bit on the watery side. However, this one lets itself drink without to much resistance.BB 2nd quarter 2009.

Vintage 2003: Amber gold with a off white head. Sweet herbal & spicy aroma and taste - nearly cloying. Medium bodied. Very concentrated & strong overall!

11.2 oz bottle - Pours murky light brown with a thin head. The aroma has yeast, malt, mustard, and a hint of citrus. The flavor is sweet and spicy with the mustard less than obvious. I just didn’t care for the combination of spices in this beer. It seemed like a fairly mediocre belgian ale with odd spices thrown in that don’t really work for me.

Bottled. Much preassure in bottle, but gives no head in beer glass, very active bubbles in the glass though. Colour of the beer is murku brownish orange. Aroma is mustard and some yeast. Flacour is sweet, acidic and a lots of spices, not so mastardy in my opinion. sweet and sour finish.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - mustard and coriander, combined with notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with very strong notes of mustard and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry and a bit watery end.

Well I’ll be damned, this beer actually smells like mustard - just when I thought I’d seen it all! The mustard spice is well integrated with a light phenolic note and a touch of yeasty apple fruitiness. Lightly hazed orange color with a thin tight layer of foam. What a strange flavor - a touch of the mustard seed and phenols quickly gives way to a clean tart acidity that is pretty nice, which in turn segues into an herbal, almost medicinal finish. Hard to get a handle on this beer. Whoa - I just unceremoniously poured the dregs into the glass, and discovered just how much yeast was in this sucker. It is now a heavily clouded orangey-brown color. A gray yeastiness takes charge in the nose. Mouthfeel becomes a tad creamier with the yeast, with a touch of astringency and orange peel in the finish. In the end, I kind of enjoyed this beer, and feel that the mustard seed ingredient was put to good use here, but at the same time I don’t think I’d drink alot of this.
