t Smisje Wostyntje

Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Belgian Ale
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

330 ml bottle. My first mustard beer! Very lively and noisy carbonation, like a spritzy cider. Tall head quickly fading into nada. Color is murky and greyish orange. Prominent smell of mustard seeds, added with a dark and sweet fruitiness. Taste is sweet and acidic, and spicy (mustard comes to my mind) Rather unbalanced. Light to medium body. Spicy and light sour end.

Bottle at firewaters...rich cloudy golden color, fluffy head that shrinks to about a centimeter...actually smells like mustard!! (faint but present) -balanced well- zingy body, refreshing..its a standard Belgian ale with a slight essence of mustard...interesting but not impressive

On-tap at The Belgian room, NYC. Light body, sourish, three weeks old, yellow body without head. Not too great a Belgian.

Bottle. Cloudy, orangey amber with quite a big head. Sweet and spiced aroma, reminding me mostly of orange peel. The flavours are predominantly sweet, though with lots of orange peel and spices. Only at the very finish does mustard break through. Too sweet, but I quite liked the rich development of flavours.

11.2oz. bottle: This one pours with a very large off-white head that drops away rather quickly. The color is a hazy, darker golden hue with a touch of orange. The aroma is mainly bready and yeasty, with some spiciness. And yes, one of those spices appears to be mustard. Fortunately, there is no discernible mustard to the taste. Somewhat spicy and bitter taste. A decent enough ale.

On tap at Rich O’s. clear gold with a nice lasting white head. nice lacing. aroma clean golden malt with a nice touch of hops. light sweet toasted bready malt with a touch of bitter hops. bitter spicy hop and mustard?...finish. medium dry. decent.......but i was really expecting a lot of mustard....i really wanted to taste and smell the mustard but i couldnt.

Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is not as bad as what I thought it would be, there’s mustard but also spices, not too discouraging so far. Then the flavor, ok the mustard is present but it’s not overpowering the taste buds, it leaves some space for the spices to do the job, not bad, but then not that good. The palate is pleasantly thick and creamy while the carbonation is gentle. OK so it’s not the monster I was thinking but still it’s not very interesting, the other t’smisje products are far superior to this one.

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.
