Jun 1, 2009 Reinaert 11.2oz bottle. This one exploded on me a bit. Very foamy, but it’s a nice medium copper with a lot of floaties and ends up with a big and attractive head. Smells like cheese at first, with some bread and cherries behind. Plenty sweet flavor, with lots of spicy notes, accompanied by good fruity depth. Apples, pear, butterscotch. Finishes dry to a lingering cool fruitiness in the back of the mouth. A little bit of sourness shows up throughout, as well.
Is this really 40 or 50 IBUs? If so, they’re definitely hidden, but that’s good for this style of beer - I don’t imagine they’d blend very well with the spicy notes. Overall, a complex and well-crafted beer - the sour, sweet, spicy, and malty flavors all blend together very nicely to keep me interested through the whole glass. I’ll definitely buy again.

May 31, 2009 Courtesy of Gillard. Pours hazy deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma has a pulse of tasty funk and then moving toward apples, minced cherries and earthiness at the end of a big draw. The taste is sweet with fruit and sugar consisting of apples, prunes, plums and some sweet grapes. It dries out some into the finish with lingering grapes and faint funk.

May 29, 2009 Wow, learn something new all the time. I knew about Reinaert, of course, and I knew about De Proef Flemish Primitive, of course, but even after seeing them for years and having tried the Pig Nun a while ago...I still had no idea they were the same beer. So, yeah.
Anyway, 330ml. Thanks, Hopscotch! Pours a creamy-looking dark caramel colo with a towering, fluffy white head and plenty of lace. Big caramel and butterscotch/toffeeish nose. Apples and cinnamon as well. The body on this one looks like one of those swirling prisms you can get in the parking lot at a Dead show--all kinds of currents twirling to and fro. This is because I got a little ahead of myself and poured in lots of yeast without realizing it. Oh, well. Creamy medium body. Tons of sweet this and that happening--caramel, butterscotch, toffee, cinnamon, apples. Very dessert-y. I remember being one of the few who dug that bottle of Pig Nun years ago...maybe it’s the sweet tooth.

May 25, 2009 Labeled as Reinaert Flemish Wild Brewers Reserve. Poured a murky gold. Citrus, low funk nose. Loads of belgian yeast character. Spicy, sweet, some tangy flavors. Not wild at all. Oddly enough as HOPSHUNTER said, it had some salami. weird.

May 14, 2009 Bottle. Labeled Reinaert Flemish Wild Ale. Poured a hazy golden color with a thick white head. Aroma is yeasty, with notes of apple and salami. Flavor is sweet malt, musty, spicy, yeast and more salami. I find it a little odd.

May 11, 2009 This beer has a great smell to it. Smells of some fruit and lil bit of brett. The taste is not as strong some sweetness very little hops and a nice mild sourness at the end. Pretty good beer

May 9, 2009 Pours a hazy medium golden with a finger thick off white head that sticks around and leaves chunks of lacing. The nose is Bretty and funk with a bit of sour citrus. The flavor is a bit more mild and sweet with a lingering finish.

May 3, 2009 A nice citrus nose with some funk. Very nice carbonation, funky fruity taste. Golden in color not as sour as I would have liked but well balanced. Light hop bitterness and yeasty, interesting beer.
