Bottle: Poured an hazy dark golden color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention. Aroma of spices and dry Belgian yeast is intriguing. Taste is quite spicy with some nice malt and dry yeasty finish which is a bit too strong for my liking. After having tried a few different beers from this brewery, I feel like they should IMHO rethink their use of their yeast strain which provide strong dry aftertaste and result in similar taste to all their beers.

Brown botlle, 33 cl, best before second quarter of 2009; eye: burnt orange, lightly hazy, really light effervescence, nice white head that eventually falls but remains as in inviting bed on top of the beer; nose: hops (grapefruit), tiny presence of mustard, caramelized malt, Belgian bread, coriander; mouth: malt, mustard (?), spcices, peppery hops, surprisingly smooth, finale in malt with a good presence of spices, lightly astringent, thin, mildly bitter, lightly sweet, really lightly sour, medium boyd, good carbonation; overall: better than expectations FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, meilleure avant deuxième trimestre 2009; oeil : brune orangé, légèrement voilée, très légère effervescence, belle mousse blanche qui tombe éventuellement mais se transforme en un petit lit douillet; nez : houblon (pamplemousse), infime présence de moutarde, malt caramélisé, pain belge, coriandre; bouche : malt, moutarde (?), épices, houblon piquant, curieusement douce, finale en malt avec une bonne dose d’épices, légère astringence, mince, moyennemnt amère, légèrement sucrée, très légère pointe surette, corps moyen, bonne carbonatation; en résumé : meilleure que ce que je m’attendais

Pours bright amber into a tulip. Fluffy white head recedes with tearing. Slight sweet Belgian funk. Sweet/sour with slight mustard flavor. Lasting sweet finish.

Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Orange colour. Light malty and moderate hopy aroma. You can detect the mustard. Strange acetic light bitter flavor. Average too acetic finish. Watery palate. I dont like this one.

Bottle at The Rake, Borough. Mustard beer? According to Richard from Utobeer, they sell tons of the stuff. Spicey aroma. Very good malt and then mustard hop finish. Unbelievably drinkable. So I will be having another.

Lots of funk in this beer. The spice is light but there is enough weirdness to make me think I am drinking a saison. No mustard flavor. Cloudy orange with no head but significant sediment. Light sweetness. Lots of yeast in the aroma and flavor. This is a smooth and light beer with good palate and it is very easy to drink. Not worth the original price of $4, but a bargain on clearance at $1.50.

Import 11.2 oz bottle. Not quite as spicy as the label might have you believe. Pours pretty bubbly, then settles to to a cloudy orange. Smell is mostly of the candi sugar and some general Belgian spiciness. Taste: Well, not a lot of character to it. Just sticky. Some light malts, the sugar, a little orange/lemon and a general spiciness. Nothing I can really attribute to the mustard seed. But just not much to impress me.

Bottled (BBE 2007)
Hazy nut brown, small creamy off-white head. Fruity, lightly hoppy. Starts a bit spicey, some leafy hoppy notes in the middile. Hints of sugar, but this is not a sweet beer. Slightly grassy aftertaste.

Bottled. Cloudy amber. Spices (mustard seeds I assume) are obvious in the nose. Fruity, soft and medium bodied with notes of lemon and pineapple. Somewhat vinous. Restrained sweetness, low bitterness.
