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

Bottle: Lightly hazy orange color, thin head and very little lacing. The nose is very belgian with a spicy yeast and peppery apricot note, light hop and a touch of apple juice. The flavor is a bit grainy with an odd cidery texture and mouthfeel, if I didn’t already know this had mustard in it, I would never had known, but maybe I’m just tasting it because I think I do. Finishes a bit sweet and tart, more of that cidery taste. The tail is brief. An odd belgian.

Cloudy orange brown color. No head. Sweet aroma of spices and almost like fermented sour fruit. Lots of gueuzey fruit in the upfront flavor. The finish is quick and dry. Interesting if not memorable beer.

Thanks Tim. Cloudy gold, thin white head. Nose is pepper, yeast, spice, orange, earthy malt. Flavor is light caramel, lemon, yeasty spice, mustard, something green. Mustard/spice finish.

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.

On Tap, Belgian Room. This was one wacky beer! The mustard was anything but soft-spoken, imparting a pure mustard seed flavor and intruiging complexity of flavors/aromas not normally found in beer. The pour was a very "mustardy" dark yellow with small white cap hhead. Aroma contained beets, mustard, cabbage, tomato, slight flowers. In the mouth I got a strong mustard presence up front, that faded into onions, ethanol, turpentine (hehe), and a strong candi sugar finish. Palate is wet and thinnish though still full-bodied. I don’t know if I would drink it again, but this was certainly worth a try!

Wow, mustard seed in a beer! What a novel concept. Bottle from Supar Saver. The pour is hazy, young pumpkin orange with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of tart fruit, lime, orange, and hopcitrus. The flavor is citrusy, with notes of lime, orange, tangerine, and lemon, plus finishing hops and some funky malt. This one is very unique, and I think very good.

On tap in the Belgian Room. Deep dark golden in color with a little off white head. Malty sweet and spicey aroma. Candi sugar notes. Malty and fruity spicey flavor. Orange and clove. Yeasty. Citrusy hoppy. Mild mustard taste. Tart. Finish is bitter. Nicely balanced. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with a nice off white mostly lasting head. Aroma and taste of malt, fruits and spices. The Torhouts mustard must be very mild, because it doesnt show up in the beer in anyway, but still the beer is good.
