JorisPPattyn (4642), Antwerpen, Belgium Feb 28, 2008 <i> Draught </i> Very (cold)hazy orange beer, with fluffy off-white head. Malt, and even expressly barley grain, parsley. Sweet taste, pinch of DMS, and a little saltiness, as well as some obvious caramel. Light to medium bodied, quite fizzy. Very plain beer, even when nothing fundamentally wrong. However, compared to the original St. Landelin from Crespin... KimJohansen (4299), Copenhagen V, Denmark Feb 14, 2008 Clear dark golden with medium short lasting off white head. Sweet aroma with flower and fruity notes. Sweet fruity flavor with spicy notes. Ends slightly bitter. tomthompson89 (1195), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 13, 2007 golden color, huge head, orange nose and some mild hops.Thin body, kinda grassy and sweet, not a fav but ok Brouwser (102), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 11, 2007 Bière blonde aux reflets dorés et clairs avec un col moyen et pâle assez persistant.
Le parfum est légèrement âcre avec des notes de levures.
Goût malté plutôt sucré, trop sucré, presque mielleux. Ou est le houblon?
Mousseuse mais manque de pétillant.
Goût métallique et sanguin. La bière semble légèrement ’’skunkée’’...
C’est une bière très ordinaire, qui se compare mal même à certaines bières commerciales! Boutip (1855), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 11, 2007 Bottle: Poured a deep golden color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with some good retention and some nice lacing features. Aroma of grainy and unrefined malt is bordering on unpleasant. Taste is also dominated by this unrefined grain which I find is bordering on adjunct taste with little yeast or hops characteristics identifiable. Body is above average with some nice carbonation.
