UPDATED: MAY 3, 2005 Couleur brune pâle. Mousse beige plutôt savonneuse. Des milliards de millions de dépôts circulent dans tout le verre. Superbement fruité au nez, une quantité surprenante et variée de fruits frais défile devant moi. Je pense à kiwi, fraise, melon miel et pêche. Mince en bouche, les fraises restent mais c’est comme si elles venaient de prendre des semaines d’âge en l’instant d’une gorgée. En effet, le fruit devient plus meurtri et une forte impression de vernis naît. L’alcool, pas tout à fait bien dissimulé, est assez puissante pour légèrement brûler lorsqu’elle nous envahi. Finale légèrement astringente et médicinale. Pas très plaisant ni bien aggloméré ensemble.

ZBF 2005. Pours brown, with a thin disapearing white head. Aroma is slightly malty, and spicy/yeasty. Taste is rather much alcohol, full malty body, and some fruit

Zythos Beer Festival, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium 2005. Hazy light brown colour with a off-white head. Sweet caramel mellon light yeasty aroma and a sweet caramel malty taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Bottle, Brugge, Nov 04. Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (dough, mold), with notes of cherry, coriander, and toffee. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium to full body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation. Pleasant, especially in the looks and mouthfeel departments. Not as flavorful/balanced as desired, though.

33 cl bottle, bottled in 2004. Light brown, hazy, lots of yeast, stable head. Malty sweet aroma with chestnut, walnut, yeast and some alcohol. Flavour is sharp, slightly acidic and earthy with little aftertaste. Where are hops, actually? Strong body.

(Bottled) Darkish brown color with almost no head, some lace, and an enormous amount of big yeast clumps floating. Sourish, earthy, slightly wineous aroma with hints of alcohol. Quite sour-fruity flavor with strawberry, vegetable and toffee hints. Medium-bodied, quite dry and sour palate with low carbonation. Somewhat interesting, but not that pleasant experience.

UPDATED: APR 8, 2005 Bottle. Very highly carbonated, big head. Aroma fruity and sour. Very acidic flavour, a hint of strawberry. Tastes a bit like vinegar, but I like it. Possibly infected? Different bottle: Malty, perfumy/soapy aroma. Brown colour, small creamy head. Flavour also malty with a hint of perfume. Sweet aftertaste.

Bottled. Swan & Rushes Leicester. A mid brown beer with hints of a medicinal taste and also a bit of nail varnish. The aroma is dry and actually smells cold. There is no head to this beer at all, and although it tastes thin, it is mildly amusing and it does grow on you through the glass.

I really enjoyed this beer, very nice on the throat, very smooth, dark in color. Looks like a cheap beer by the label, ha ha, really enjoyed it. Bottom line, i would buy a case for home.

Hazy deep orange body, disappearing head. Very fruity and somewhat yeasty aroma. Fresh and quite sweet with a bit of bitterness. Dry and harsh flavor. Hop, malt and some fruit. Yeasty notes. Ultra dry finish and too harsh.
