Keg at The Oregon Brewers Festival, Portland, OR on 24/07/2008. Nice big spicy notes, with clove, cardamom and cinnamon on the nose. Big body and lots of dried fruit and fruitcake flavours.
Beige creamy head. Deep amber colour. Aroma is hoppy, malty with fruity (apricot) and funky notes. Flavor is malty with fruity ( apricot and apple) with light spicy tones, ending in a moderately fruity and slighly sour finish. Medium bodied.
Flaska från Hopt.se. Långsam gusher. Bärnstensfärgad disig vätska med smutsvit krämig skumpuck. Brettig doft och smak. Bra kropp med rejäla maltiga och brödiga smaker, lätt syrlig, jordkällare, smutsig citruszest, kryddor. Snygg och välbyggd.
Positivement surpris par cette belge americaine! Bue ce dimanche soir tranquillement à la maison.
Brett un peu (en levure d'embouteillage) mais en restant agréable et sans acidité et rappelle l'Orval. Sympa en bouche, 35,5 cl passés facilement avec ses 7° peu perceptibles. Très bien.
Botella de 355 ml @ Saveur Biere online store. Color ámbar oscuro, levadura en suspensión, aspecto efervescente. Espuma beige, rápida disipación. Poca retención.
Aromas a levadura, manzana, uvas, malta. En boca es ligeramente maltosa, notas a levadura, miel, frutas secas.
Couleur orange foncée, rousse dorée, beaucoup de mousse à l'ouverture de la bouteille puis la mousse s'estompe assez rapidement
Nez malté, caramel, des senteurs un peu aigres et de fruits confits
Attaque ronde qui donne le ton sur des saveurs de caramel, d'épices et de sureau avec toujours cette touche aigre, acide un peu vineuse
Désaltérante avec une légère pointe d'amertume et maltée en fin de bouche un peu à la manière d'une Sour, la Matilda est relativement complexe en bouche et ne dévoile ses saveurs qu'avec une attention soutenue à la dégustation : abricots, orange amère, raisin, noisettes.
Je suis juste déçu par la touche aigre de l'ensemble un peu trop prononcée qui m'oblige à la noter en deçà de sa vraie valeur gustative et de sa complexité, sans cette touche aigre, elle aurait été quasi parfaite dans son style !
Bouteille 35,5cl
Mousse : Chapeau de mouse blanche très fine et persistante
Couleur : Orange foncé, presque ambrée
Nez : Levure très particulière, fruité, bubblegum. Note caramel.
Bouche : Attaque ronde, fruitée, caramel. Rapidement rejoint par la saveur de la levure. Corps rond et chaleureux, malt fruité, caramel, en fin de seconde bouche prédominance caramel épicé et note alcool
Avis : Une basserie américaine offre une Belgian style chaleureuse, très ronde, puissante en saveurs et en caractère, sa levure interpelle. (Rappel celle d’Orval ?)
Pours clear shimmery light orange, big white head. Aroma is strong cloves, hints of raisin and dried apricots. Taste is moderately yeasty, light tang aftertaste, hints of sweet malt, funk. Creamy but fairly light. Pretty nice.
Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Roommate did a shit job opening it. Aroma of yeast and malt. Taste has slight traces of lactose and ferrous elements that grow as the taste fades. Palate has herbal and iron notes. Interesting.
Mooie fles, mooi etiker. Bijna oranje kleur, stevig schuim. Goed gist aroma, volle smaak, zoet, maar ook stevig, kruidig. Erg goed bier.
Belgian style beer that is put well together. Fruity flavors with mild carbonation and very week bitter finish. Not bad!
Backlog, golden orange with a medium to large head. Nose and flavor of florals, brett, barn, grass, pepper, fruit, and Belgian yeast. Medium to fuller mouthfeel with tons of carbonation.
Sabor agradable no tan intenso , buen aroma
2016 Bottle shared at home. Hazy orange appearance with thin white head. Aroma is malt and hoppy aroma. Flavour is yeast, slightly fruity and hops.
Thin off white he'd left a spotty cover on a dark golden still body.
Minimal aroma of oak & sour hints.
Bitter hoppy tastes with banana, clove, spices & light fruitiness
Goud geel bier met een mooie hoeveelheid schuim. Het bier smaakt als een echte ale, mooi bitter / granig / zoet / citrus achtig. Heeft in de smaak mooi veel diepgang en terugkerende smaken van gras en graan.
Bottle. Orange colour with white head. Yeast and fruit aroma. Yeast, fruit, hoppy, slightly sweet taste. Medium body.
April 2019. MGM National Harbour. Draft.
Great funk that I’m searching for, I really enjoy this beer. Light golden color, slightly sweet. Love the funk!
Bottled 2015/08/14. Hazy copper with large off white head and sediment at bottom. Fills the nose of moldy basement, cheese that is aged in a cave and barn horses. Flavor is mild, and bitter with sweet lemons mixed in with savory spice. Crisp and clean in the mouth.
$2.79 bottle, Total Wine, Gainesville. I know I've had this before, don't know why I didn't rate. Pours hazy golden-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is lemonade, funk, hay, earth. Flavor is funky lemonade, caramel malt, hay, earth, dried flowers, light yeast. Very pleasant, lots of flavor.
355 ml bottle @ home, served in a teku glass, due date: unknown, bottled: 2017/06/14
Aroma: quite intense aromas of slightly acidic white grape must, white grape, acidic wine, Brettanomyces. Some spicy overtones.
Appearance: dark orange to amber color with some copper overtones, light beige quite creamy foam, made of small to big sized bubbles. High head thickness with medium to high retention and medium Brussels' lacing. Medium haziness.
Taste: low to medium sweetness, low bitterness, low to medium sourness. Flavors of slightly acidic wine, slighlty white grapes must, fruits, citrus, spices, some toasted malts in the backend. Quite well balanced.
Palate: low to medium body, watery to oily texture, medium to high carbonation, quite long mainly dry finish with low to medium bitterness and the same previously mentioned flavors. Alcohol is very well hidden, no alcohol in the aroma or flavor and some mouth and throat warming. Low astringency.
Overall: very good looking, quite weird aromas and flavors of slightly acidic white grapes must, slightly acidic wine, white grapes, fruits, spices. Not a great fan of Brett beers, but it's quite complex, loaded with a lot of layers of flavors and not a bad beer.
Bottled 0,355L. Dark orange color, unclear and hazy aspect with ligh bubbly and foamy head of medium duration. Sweet malt and caramel aroma, sweet young wine rumors, notes of grapes, cellar, aged riped fruit. Medium prickly taste, oily texture with notes of sweet alcohol and caramel, moisted cereals, stum, clea mold, aged grapes.
Slightly hazy orange pour. A bit darker than an average blonde, and also a lot more herbal
2015 bue en 2019. Couleur ambrée, trouble. Arômes de fruits jaunes et fleurs. Longueur avec forte amertume. Dommage qu'il y ait cette forte amertume car sinon elle aurait été parfaite.
2014 bottle into a taster showing medium amber and a finger of slightly tanned foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of peach, nectarine and a harmonious note of Belgian yeast.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Light brett and Belgian yeast with barely any sweetness. Very clean and refreshing while easy drinking like a well made saison.
5 years old bottle, thanks Jon. Darker orange pour, quite some foam there, thick and leaves good lacing on the glass while coming down. Funky tart nose, some deep dried yellow fruits, crystallised sugar there. Yeasty edge carries forward to the taste, lightly tart but feels also potent. Funky barnyard linger with light bitterness.
Colore ambrato, versa poca schiuma che svanisce velocemente. Aroma leggero con note speziate e fruttate di mela, pera e uva. Sapore poco strutturato con note fruttate e caramellate, alcol piuttosto presente durante la bevuta. Carbonazione vivace.
Drank from a tap in Goose Island in Chicago ORD airport.
A: amber color with thin head
A: Malty scent, toast and roasted barley malt. Some scent of spice (cinnamon and clove), nuts.
F: Abbey beer taste, malty, roasted spice and a hint of sweetness.
M: balanced finish. Not dry.
Overall: great beer to buy. Slightly lighter than other Abbey beers I had. Recommended.
Bottle from Hopt. Bretty nose. Aroma is bretty and malty with ripe (stone) fruits, toasted grain, farmhouse funk, light spicy, some caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a fairly dry finish. Body is medium. Bretty, dry and somewhat fruity, likeable brew.
