Comments  My special occasion for popping this cork was review #1,300. What a treat to find a new beer-style (new to me) after so many reviews. Ive seen the bottle in the stores before but would have never thought of buying it was it not for the strong rating on BeerAdvocate. A great beer and a great site! 1,897 charactersRoyalT, Mar 26, 20054/5 rDev -3.4%look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4t2grogan, Jul 16, 20164.08/5 rDev -1.4%look: 3.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4CavemanRamblin, Jun 11, 20154.5/5 rDev +8.7%Zakk, Jun 28, 20124.18/5 rDev +1%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4A: A bright, mostly clear gold with a thick white head that quickly thinned to a ring and then disappeared. Very, very highly carbonated. Not nearly as cloudy as a lot of Belgians, presumably because this one has had the yeasts removed. There is no sediment.
I was actually happy to find that I wasn't super duper crazy about this beer. My tastes run more in the nice Belgian trippel and strong IPA ranges, which are expensive as far as beer goes but much cheaper than something like this. Good, but not the THE BEST in flavor in my opinion. I don't regret the purchase by any means, but I won't crave it the way I crave Chimay Trippel, La Fin du Monde, or Green Flash IPA. 1,663 characterswithliterature, Apr 05, 20114.5/5 rDev +8.7%DaftPatrick, Aug 25, 20143.93/5 rDev -5.1%look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5$25 for a bottle in Paducah. Pours into a flute a slightly hazed,yellow body with a towering mound of white foam atop. The frothy vanilla head eventually falls into an attractive meringue. Aroma is floral and grainy, somewhat exotic. Rosewater essence is prominent. Mouthfeel is light mediumbodied with spritzy carbonation. Taste is very dry. Green strawberries leads an unusual fruity aspect, blending with spice, yeast, and mint. Fruity combines with floral, finishing very dry. Quite champagne like. Very interesting, and nicely drinkable but for the price I'll pass next time. 580 charactersmerlin48, Apr 03, 20074.65/5 rDev +12.3%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5This was my first champagne beer and it didn't disappoint. The beers pours a golden color with a huge fluffy white head. The beer has many small bubbles like champagne and the bubbles remained during the entire time it was in the glass. The smell is of lemons and malt and the taste was similar, with some yeast in there as well. For a beer that was 11.5% ABV, the alcohol is nearly completely hidden. The beer didn't taste like champagne, but the high carbonation made it feel like champagne as you drank it. This is an expensive beer and is not an every day drinker, but for a special occasion, I don't think you can go wrong with DeuS. 638 charactersMora2000, Oct 16, 20093.5/5 rDev -15.5%olradetbalder, Dec 04, 20144.95/5 rDev +19.6%look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 5Jammyman, Jun 20, 20154.23/5 rDev +2.2%look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4A champagne beer? How will this turn out...
Clear yellow-gold in color. Huge volumes of carbonation swirling around. Strangely, the whitish head is quite robust, lasting an eternity. Amazing lacing of the glass. Aromas tickle the nostrils. Sorta like perfume crossed with an array of citrus. Flavor is superb. It's hard to convince yourself that this is beer your are drinking. Crackly carbonation enhances the drenching of the tastebuds from the sugary sweetness up front, smoothing out to a more pronounced peppery/hop bite in the middle, and finishes with a honey-glazed orange spice zip. Dry? Hell yes. Simply an amazing creation. 637 charactersOldFrothingSlosh, Dec 02, 20044.5/5 rDev +8.7%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5An excellent beer - my first Biere Brut, and was quite surprised. Very high carbonation, just like a sparkling wine, and the colour is similar too, a pale golden. The smell is somewhere between a cider and a sparkling wine, with notes of apples, white grapes, spices. The taste is bitter-sweet and very refreshing. 314 charactersMarius, Jan 25, 20154.04/5 rDev -2.4%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25innominat, Mar 25, 20164.62/5 rDev +11.6%look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5Pours very straw to pale gold with a champagne like liveliness with a thick soapy 2” foam cap that quickly dissipates. Clean fruit and floral aromas and taste with a slight hint of sweetness and some definite white wine qualities. The perception oscillates between a sparkling wine and a beer and you swing between the yeast driven fruit flavors and the light malts. Very effervescent, medium light body. Very refreshing. 424 characterspat61, Mar 12, 20154/5 rDev -3.4%sourdog, Sep 04, 20144.51/5 rDev +8.9%look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5Appearance: a twirling tornado of carbonation maintains a bubbly angel-white head and keeps flecks of yeast in suspension; gold body
Overall: usually not fond of sugary brews, but this is completely enthralling with complex spice flavours and luxurious mouthfeel; a real treat that is best shared with friends post dinner, by a fire if you can 821 charactersBGDrock, Oct 09, 20154.25/5 rDev +2.7%HoppySeb, Sep 18, 20144.49/5 rDev +8.5%look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4Thomas Liquors gave me a "good customer" discount, $16 dollars -- thanks! 2001 vintage, poured into a LaTrappe chalice.
The bottle blew like a land mine, covered the sink and one side of the fridge. Hazy bright peach from the final yeast pitch (the 4th), head flattens to less than an 1/8 of an inch after the spurting released the primary carbonation. Decent string laces. Spicy aroma, huge amounts of pumpkin pie spice and associated sweetness. A little bit of model paint phenolic whiffs, as well. Tea-like and steeped in associated flavors, clove and ginger, lots of nutmeg predominate with a black pepper bite up front. Finishes with a bitter date-like and apricot liquor cordial impression and a fully rounded aftertaste. Decided body overall. Sense of alcohol and huge amounts of reminders of the sip. Survives low temperatures very well. Very nice, complex without an obvious hop...big. Wish the bottle didn't blow (I may have jostled it too much), I missed out on about 1/4 of the volume here. Minnesota, we should all take advantage of this beer's availability, the distributor is shaky and stores like Thomas Liquors only have six (well, five) on hand. 1,166 charactersADR, May 15, 20034.28/5 rDev +3.4%kwkdmk, Oct 11, 20144.45/5 rDev +7.5%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4This beer pours a very slightly clooudy pale yellow color, with a thick, fluffy white head. The head fades very slowly, leaving a massive laging.
Overall: This beer is great. It is all I have expected from the beer and the style. 1,111 charactersOStrungT, Sep 30, 20073.92/5 rDev -5.3%look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4(Served in a flute)
A- This beer pours a bright pale yellow with a crystal clear body and a strong carbonation of tiny bubbles. The head is a big billowy white mouse that last and last. S- The smell of earthy grain and hop bitterness are strong with a slight yeasty "Flanders" funk. There is some cooked corn notes to the grain with a slight sweetness. T- This beer has a soft malt note with a hop bitterness that is blended with a slight sweetness and some alcohol heat. M- This beer has a light mouthfeel and the fizzy is not real strong. There is some alcohol warmth in the finish. D- This beer is interesting. It has some qualities of highly carbonated malt liquor but then it has some qualities only found in some good wild beers. Definitely an original. 778 charactersrhoadsrage, Jan 01, 20064.12/5 rDev -0.5%look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4Happy 2016, subscribers, viewers, and newcomers. I feel it only fitting that one of the first things I do this year is post a beer review. The following was my experience with my much-heralded NYE beer, DeuS. Enjoy, and try not to snort beer from your nose while reading, it gets a little out-there…
Suggested food pairing: poach salmon, citrusy salads, on its own as an aperitif, fruit salad 2,845 charactersJMS1512, Jan 01, 20164.26/5 rDev +2.9%look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25Being the only Brut I see on a regular basis and, from what I'm told, the standard-setter for the style, it's about time I try this one as the first of 3 I was able to get my hands on.
Carbonation makes for a fluffy effervescence, kept in check by a strong crispness and a body that just reaches medium and feels appropriate there. It is still on the very light side of medium, of course, and has lots of smoothness. It's clean, which seems very important and difficult to achieve for this particular beer. 1,770 charactersBrenden, Apr 02, 20145/5 rDev +20.8%Tomblerone, May 27, 2012
