2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 PJMTL (9) - LaPrairie, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 18, 2007 does not count
The "Nectar du Diable" fell short on every aspect. The color was a very hazy golden yellow that I could have very easily overcome had there been any type of aroma or flavor to follow. No carbonation & flat on the pallet. This tasted as if it had not finished fermenting. A strong taste of yeast that was quit bitter. If I had brewed this I would dump it as I would suspect some type of contamination.

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 MartinT (6340) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 5, 2007
My Bottom Line:
The juicy lime and pineapple fruitiness of this blemished Belgian Golden Ale leads to an incoherent yeasty tartness. There are obvious bottle-conditioning issues here which harm the beer greatly.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-There is barely any head on top of the cloudy pale yellow.
-Carbonation is nearly dead, making the beer feel like a sample from the fermenter.
-A doughy yeast presence is felt, which might have been nicely integrated, but it’s hard to tell with such a lifeless body.
-The fruit pith aroma could have been fun, but in this state appears unripe.
Bottle; first batch.

Bu au Festival Bière et Saveur 07 (fut). Blonde vaseuse, mince collet. Arome de malte légèrement épicé, un peu sucré. Goût de malte d’épice doux, et un peu sucré, petite notes d’houblons. La meilleur offrande de Pascal à date!
