Nedman (10), ward, Colorado, USA Aug 2, 2003 Paleish yellow colour, with medium head. Nice mouthfeel, with lively carbonation.Mild citrus/fruity hop notes.Hard to clasify. Sort of Saison, sort of Lambic? Nice beer.
FlacoAlto (2251), Tucson, Arizona, USA Dec 15, 2003 This beer is a hazy lightly golden color. My first smell I get notes of cherry, then some weird fruit aroma kicks in. There is definitely some exotic fruit aroma in this one. The taste has the same weird fruit in it, I really can't quite figure it out. The aftertaste is strongly of some funky exotic fruit. This beer is quite refreshing, it seems to be about like a Belgian Wit with some exotic fruit in it. This one is so weird that it becomes that much more interesting, definitely worth a try if you can get your hands on it. Brodie (540), Blowing Rock, North Carolina, USA Nov 14, 2003 Very unique. Fruity aroma - orange peel, corriander (maybe), characteristic Belgian plum/pear esters, and light acetic sourness (vinegar-like). Hazy yellow orange in color, head was nonexistent. Flavor echoes the aroma, mild acetic sourness, decent malt flavor, and complex fruitiness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, a quite enjoyable beer. Kind of a cross between a Flemish sour and a Belgian wit. Gusler (2656), Tucson, Arizona, USA Oct 31, 2003 Draught @ Papago brewery<br /><br />
Woutbier - This beer is collaboration between New Belgium's head brewer Peter Bouckaert and Oskar Blues head brewer Brian Lutz. Oskar Blues is the same great brewery that brings you that wonderful microbrew in a can; Dale's Pale Ale The beer is named in honor of Peter's son, Wout. (Although the original name of the recipe was Slijtersbier.) We label it as a Flemish Sour--Brian calls it a Belgian Ale--and others swear it’s a dobbel-wit. Regardless, you won't find much about it on the internet--it’s that rare.<br /><br />
So after you have read the above, I’m just as confused after 3 samples and a big imperial mug of this beer, kind of taste like all the above. Color a hazy orange to amber color, the head almost non-existent as is the lace, what there is of it is an off white. Over ripe pineapple, wheat, yeast, sweet malt, crisp and fresh is the nose with the start malt sweet, top is skeletal in feel. Finish is crisply acidic, lemon lime tart, hops quite mild, very, very dry aftertaste, sure as hell a different breed of beer and I’ve tasted some strange concoctions in my life. Actually thin but drinkable and one that makes you think “What the Hell is this stuff I’m drinking”, which a treat these days with all the “clones” that pervade the liquor store shelves, I actually liked it I think?
Aubrey (2643), Denver, Colorado, USA Jul 13, 2003 Draft: Clear and light-golden with a weakish head. Milky and chewy texture with a very mild carbonation. Earthy, with big celery notes throughout. Very curious beer, but I finished it without a problem ... just had one eyebrow raised the entire time.
