2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Bottle (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.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
500 ml bottle from Marche Jovi (Omni), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. 05FE10.
App.: Hazy golden with a frail white froth.
Aroma: Saison-like bitter green herbs, barnyard funk, wild fermentation, tart; light berry fruitiness if you dig, some yeast and bread dough.
Palate: Medium body, moderate effervescence.
Flav.: Still too much wild fermentation with some berry fruitiness and a bit of esters, yeast and dough, tons of nasty, infected; off dry with troublesome bitterness and a light berry finish.
Problematic. Don’t think it would be great fresh either. Drain pour.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
500ml bottle from Le Gobelet. into Flute, pours a pale yellow with a short lasting fizzy head that leaves no lacing whatsoever. aroma is grassy, almost lager like. with some blackberries and grapefruit. taste is bitter and first, with some fruit in the finish. very watery. though the alcohol does hide itself well. this bottle isn’t cheap, and isn’t worth it. not a terrible beer, but no where near a good beer either.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A hazy blonde ale with a thin white head. A strong raspberry aroma, with light coriander and yeast. In mouth, a sweet candy malt, raspberry pulp and coriander, overall, a bit cloying. Tasted on July 26 209. Bottle from Gobelet.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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...
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[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.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
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!

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2008 Quel 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.
