duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jul 11, 2002 this beer totally and utterly agreed with with me. Very nice floral oaky aroma, very nice tastewise. Very subtle and elegant, with a tremendously satisfying bitter finish, very savoury, an awesome brew, hooray!! NDmullet (208), South Bend, Indiana, USA Dec 26, 2002 Glistening golden body, with fine sedimentation, frothy white head. The nose is very floral (lilac and honeysuckle), pale biscuity malt, freshly cut hay, and light spice. This has a soothing, delicate malt backbone, with lots of farmhouse character. It’s difficult describe the dominant flavors here, similar to dry white wine I suppose. Lively texture without being fizzy. I agree with the others in saying this is an elegant, delectible brew. GreatLibations (1332), Sasquatcho, Arizona, USA Mar 23, 2008 A cold pour produces a tall, creamy froth that lingers like a good memory. A fluffy canopy and snail tracks are indicitive of superb lacework. Colored w/ a golden beige hue. Aromas of sweet stewed barnyard hay, citrus pulp, and banana bread. Full nectar w/ ample soft cottonous effers. Bittersweet is my first impression. A rich malty backbone devides the day w/ a defined peachpit bittering component. Flavors are earthy and rustic w/ bread and citrus meat dominating the scene. Throw in some tropicals, brown sugar, tobbacco, vanilla, wild apple cream, and a bit of sulpher and spice. The finish is bittered peacefully w/ a lingering complex malty sweetness. This is a delicious brew w/ a very complex nature. Highly recomnended. eaglefan538 (2141), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Jun 17, 2006 Poured a golden-amber color with a nice fluffy initial head. Lacing was solid. Aroma was sweet corn and floral, some spice, light farmhouse. Flavor was excellent, my favorite biere de garde so far. A sweet and crisp musty, earthy, rustic type flavor that finishes with some wood tones and floral notes. Mouthfeel was moderate, smooth, not cloying or sticky, although a sweet beer, yet lightly hopped for the finish. Outstanding.
