3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown 25cl bottle obtained in Calais on the way home from a Belgian and French beer buying expedition. Best before 18 March 2011, drank and reviewed on 2 Nov 2010.
Poured carefully into my ’La Chouffe’ stemmed tulip. I somehow allowed a little amount of sediment into the glass, clouded the body though.
The body was a dark amber and misty in appearance, very thin covering of bubbles and collar round the glass.
The smell was of apples and oranges at first, spiced with mace and a honey like semi-sweet hint, strangely also giving it a sour feel too.
The taste was also fruity with sour and semi-sweet notes, again honey came to mind.
An interesting beer and one I’d gladly have again, the 7%ABV is noticeable but doesn’t intrude into the flavours greatly. Easy to drink and certainly worth trying if you ever get the chance.

Bottle brought from France by my beautiful wife (I am one lucky dude)! Dusty aroma, spicy flavors, a bit of yeast, sharp notes end game. Not bad!
