May 24, 2009 Bottle: Poured a cloudy lightly dirty beige color ale with a medium bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of light blackberry with some grainy malt and some weird ester. Taste is a weird mix between some blackberry syrup with some unrefined grainy malt and some weird ester which doesn’t really fit well. Body is quite full with average carbonation and no apparent alcohol. OK though not necessarily something I would buy very often.

Feb 18, 2009 Acheté au paradis de la bière en format de 750ml millésimé 2008 à un prix de 10$. Apparence mangue ambré trouble avec une mousse moyenne collant bien au verre. Arômes de mûres, mangues, de pudding au tappioca et fruit de la passion. Goût d’Agrumes avec une bonne gazéfication et une sensation crémeuse de pudding aux fruits exotiques et gingembre. Bien sûr l’alcool est présente et la levure utilisé est caractéristique du champagne sauf la sensation en bouche qui rappel bien que nous buvons encore une bière! Une belle réussite, j’aime bien...

Feb 17, 2009 [1811-20081022] 750mL bottle. Aroma a melody of Christmas pudding, floral perfume, grassy mango figs, burnt cantaloupe, old tree trunk and some smoky characteristics. Slightly hazy, light orange yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Sweet sugary malt flavour has toasted floral smoked hops. Medium body is slightly bitter. A sourness comes out that probably shouldn’t be there but otherwise it’s a nice attribute, and a really interesting beer.

Feb 14, 2009 Fizzy golden beer with (barely) no head. Yeasty, wich add the champagne touch to this beer, and the blackberry taste is really present (and good). Alcohol is very well hidden. I’d try more of this!

Dec 19, 2008 Updated: Dec 21, 2008Quel goût! Les mures, un de mes fruits préféré. Effervescente, mousseuse, un légé arrière goût mais le bon goût du goût des mûr compense amplement. Bon mousseau mais au mmmmûre.

Oct 30, 2008 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with small floaties and an average size somewhat-lasting white head. Aroma’s a bit sour and yeasty along with some odd fruit and light spices. Sour strawberries perhaps? (I see above that it’s blackberries) Flavour of light sour fruit, spices, yeast and light hops in the finish. Pretty carbonated stuff. Average bodied. Interesting stuff but I found it just O.K.
