Hazy golden body. A white bubbly head. Aroma is ok. It has fruits, grass and marzipan. The flavor is disgusting! It´s way to strong!! Only flavor from alcohol and sugar.

Bottle, thanks to screwball. Somewhat hazy orange/amber color, offwhite head. Sweet marcipan aroma, alcohol and some nuts. Strong alcohol flavor, nothing else in there. Way too strong to be drinkable.

Aroma: somewhere between a Duvel & biere de garde. Coriander & pale lager. Fairly decent. Alcohol... Maizy sweetness... slightly metallic... Fudge, summery hops.
Appearance: mediocre golden with white head. Tyical lager appearance.
Flavour: Initial sweetness... some alcoholic/hoppy bitterness but mainly a cloying, belgiesque sweetness. Almost sourish in a biere de garde-way. Not too bad, but not very well balanced... dried fruits, candisugar, coconuttish.
Palate: Not too bad... quite smooth & foamy... decently carbonated, not too fizzy.

Originally reviewed back on 10/12/03. Received 3.4 score. Added to my RB list to check "France" as a beer country consumed. A syrupy concoction with fiery alcohol. Looks drab and listless. Powerful mouthfeel. Drinkability suffers. Could run my remote control car I bet...

slightly cloudy amber. fruity sweet smell. nice lacing. Light taste with hints of banana and clove followed by a strong taste of alcohol. Almost someone made a decent belgian ale and put a shot of vodka in it. Smooth, but a little watery as it finishes.

Thanks to my Dad for sharing with me. Poured from the bottle into a tulip glass; was a cloudy, amber-gold color with a small, foamy off-white head that had short retention. Aroma is sweet and candy-like, somewhat fruity, with maybe a bit of citrus or grapefruit hops, but weak. Taste is very sweet and a bit candy-like, but also had a very bitter component with moderate alcohol concentration. The beer was lightly fizzy, a bit oily and smooth, and mostly dry, particularly at the finish.

8 oz. longneck bottle. Best before 03/28/07. Poured out a hazy orange/brown color, with a foamy off white head. Aromas are of alcohol, some yeast, sweet fruit. Flavors are of sweet fruits, mostly alcohol. Not well balanced by any means.
