Sampled 9/15/08. This spiced ale pours a medium orange color from a 33cl bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is malt, yeast and a hint of mustard. A medium bodied ale. The malts are caramel and dark fruits. The hops are floral and spicy. Kind of yeasty and bready tasting, with a candi sugar finish. The mustard seed adds an interesting flavor, kind of spicy but more seed/husk tasting. An interesting beer. Lively carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some mustard flavors.

Thanks to Patra for this wonderful birthday gift. It is safe to say that this is the oddest beer that I have tasted. It pours the color of apple cider with a hazy body and a foamy white head. Wostytje has a funky aroma of hard apple cider, pineapple and yeast. The taste hits you with sour apple cider vinegar and funky earthy yeast. Then it turns somewhat sweet in the middle and end with an odd bitter and mustardy finish. The body is medium with a smooth texture. Overall it's a very odd beer. Unique. However for me the flavors just don't work together at all.

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.

Pretty pricey so it should be awesome. Pours butterscotch appearance with thin head and not much lace. Faint aroma of hops, malts, and some spice. The mouthfeel is tangy, medium-bodied, and smooth. Flavor of hops, malts, grapefruit, and teas. Excellent.

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.

The aroma is sweet and malty with some spiciness coming through as well as some citrus and maybe mustard seed and brown sugar. The appearance is a glowing orange with some haziness as well as some nice floaties with a smaller head on top than expected that diminishes to a light lacing that is off-white in color and adheres to the glass. The mouthfeel is nice and light-bodied with some very nice and smooth complexity as well as balance with a very nice and wet palate. The flavor is peculiar with some nice mustard seed and spiciness with maybe some citrus or orange overtones with an aftertaste that is of sweet malty with slight bitter with a smooth and pleasing finish and is different than anything I have had. Overall, not a bad brew with easy and smooth drinkability.

Cloudy yellow-tan with a sizable, big-bubbled head. The aroma is fairly weak, a bit of bandaids and an odd aroma that must be the mustard seed, but doesn’t really smell like mustard. The flavor is very dry and short with a bit of bitterness up front, more of that odd bit and not a whole lot else. Really a bit of a let down. I think I would have been happier if it had a lot of flavor and I just didn’t like it. This was just kind of bland and bubbly.

Originality: 10. Reality: 5. Poured a rather cloudy orange-yellow color with a small head that remained as a thin layer. Minimal lacing (short lived after each sip). The aroma was belgian-esque, no mustard: some yeastiness and even sweet and wheatiness in there. Flavor was citrus-like, rather sour-bitterish, with a bit of dryiness in the finish. Mouthfeel was thin and slightly acidic. Where is the mustard? Only slightly in the aftertaste. Maybe I'd have rated this higher if I was ready for the sour aspects of the beer. Certainly wasn't in the mood for it this evening.

Would the unique addition of mustard seeds make this beer awesome to drink, awesomely undrinkable, or somewhere down the middle?

Dark golden in color, with a nice thin but ever-present layer of pearly-white foam, and some lacing too.

Rather standard Belgian Golden Ale-like aroma, with some alcohol and some mild spiciness in the nose. Nothing too unique so far, but, at the same time, nothing unappealing, either.

Not as spicy as I expected in the mouth. Rather more sweet-n'-sticky than hot-n'-dry. Definately has certian minor aspects that seem a little askew, but difficult to really pin-point. Pleasant, but not as ground-breaking as I assumed, to be honest. A solid Belgian Golden/Pale Ale, and not much else.

Finishes quickly, since we're only talking about a squatty 33cL bottle.

An interesting beer, but not nearly as experimental as I would have liked -- especially considering the cost. A good one-timer, that I wouldn't mind keeping in my fridge, if it wasn't $5.95, that is...

cloudy red-orange colour, few foam, peach and licorice aroma with notes of mustard, overcarbonated, dry sparkling bitter finish - original and confusing
