Transparent-like colour, looks like the Belgian cuvee’s I have tried in the past. Neutral aroma. Some lace. Taste is OK, I could take the half pint (at Volo)but that is it. there is some tropical fruit in there. Medium mouthfeel. A good effort.

Spices gingery scent, hazy redish pour. Very spicy taste. An overpowering mix of flavours. Very odd beer.

On tap at C’est What? Very reddish amber with a thin white head. Has a sweet and fruity aroma. The interesting fruitiness that just does not quit. A medicinal tang whips into the fold. The palate is not chewey, but not watery either. This has a serious sweetness that frames some cardamom.

Draught. At C’est What. Hazy amber, average draught head. The aroma’s really sweet, vaguely like a quad (spice and yeast), a little grassy. The taste really is a let-down - pretty much boozy bubblegum. Avearge body, slick, lively, a bit boozy - and quite disappointing - could have been good.

On tap at C’est What?
Appearance: Fine haze , amber with light haze of woody brown. Medium creamy top.
Nose : Fresh , aromatic , fruity with neat hop feel. Good malty backing.7+
Flavor/Palate : Slight sourness , medium good depth with fresh light bittering. Nice set up with good complexity. Swing of malt, fruit, gentle hopping with something extra.

Draught at C’est What. Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is very sweet (caramel, brown sugar) and spicy/herbal with some hints of fruit. Medium bodied. Flavour follows the aroma pretty closely, with a faint woodiness from the oak aging. It’s nice, but definitely best enjoyed in small doses due to the sweetness.
