(Bottle) Pours hazy orange with yeast floaters. big white head. Creamy, acid/sour ,fruity and salty aroma with hints of parmesan and oregano. Stored cheese, salty, acid, grapfruit flavour. A bit dry. Woody bitterness and sourness.

750ml bottle, 2006 vintage. Tart, spicy aroma, very lightly sweet and toasty with notes of tangerine, pear, citrus, musty wood, dried flowers and some light brown sugar. Hazy orange-red color with a lasting, thinly foamy, off-white head. Flavor is immediately tart and citric, mellowing a bit to show some background sweetness, spice, tropical fruits and pepper, as well as a heavy dosage of earthy, musty yeast towards the much drier finish, which seems to show a brief metallic glint. Lingering herbal and citric quality. Moderately acidic, fairly effervescent, very slightly warming and dry on the palate, body is medium-full. Kind of an odd one, but not unwelcome. To call this an IPA seems a bit of a stretch, though -- the bottle refers to itself as "Rousse de garde".

I think this beer looks better than it actually tastes. The color is light reddish brown with a cream colored head. The taste is a tad tart with some definitive herbal flavors. for the true connoisseur

Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a frothy beige head, yeasty, sweet toasty malt nose, with a subtle wet winey oakiness, with some fruity citrusy accents, with an earthy herbal floral hop note, with a hint of mustiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity peachy, winey character, with some caramelized malts, with a juicy flowery hop note, remembering me of the bitterness of cooked rapinis as my mother used to do, with a hint of coriander spiciness, leading towards a malty, fruity, lingering hop bittering finish.

Draft @ redlight redlight. Brett on the nose with citrus and very floral. Pours amber with a solid white head. Tart and citrusy with floral notes, with a citrus blossom flavor, very interesting. Very complex with a lot going on.

Oh wow, really this old? Well, picked up a bottle - unaware of what it was. Poured a copper color, slightly cloudy, thick head. Yeast, spices, etc. Flavor was alright - though a bit spicy for my likes.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours brown with a large beige head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, and citrus. The flavor is fruity, caramel, and bitter. Good beer.

Hazy golden-amber body with a big, frothy cream-colored head. Rich and warm dark candy sugar and caramel aroma plus alcohol and earthy hops in the background. Flavor has qualities of menthol and plastic plus medium sweet caramel, figs, leather, and furniture polish, and a medium phenolic/bitter finish. Overall the flavor is intense and somewhat medicinal. Strikes me as a hoppy and phenolic dubbel.
