Winter touched raspberry joined together with may flowers; it is missing something, aroma of Belgium? Friendly appearance, light dull amber with fast disappearing white head. Yes, this one can wake up your tongue fast, sharp flavour, a bit watery feel. It gave me impression that it was diluted in ratio 2:3.

Cloudy amber body with big rocky beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, spicy, ginger, green tea, some orange, light anise, herbal. Taste is medium sweet, ginger, green tea, yeasty spicy, some earthy/herbal in the finish. Watery medium body, some acidity, bubbly. Interesting, but I’m not wholly sure I like it.

Clear amber iwth an off-white head. Aromas are sweet toffee malts with a mellow fruitiness and spices. Flavours are fruit and spicy with sweet malts. OK, but all too mellowed out for my liking.

Smells nice, looks like an hazy amber wheat beer, and it's neither too bitter nor too sweet. That's where the non-suckiness ends. Over-carbonated and watery, and short on actual flavour. If you're into champagne (I'm not) you might like this sort of thing, but I like my Belgians with some balls.

Pours a clear copper. The aroma is a bit of overripe candied apple. Some slight brown sugar in the flavor as well. This has a bit of the taste of extract beer, though.

Bottle. A hazy reddish golden color with a tan head. Talk about a whole lot of nothing going on this beer. A little caramel malt aroma that doesn't carry over into the flavor. Light and empty.

Foggy amber body, with a thin white head that goes away fast. Red Apples, colonge, and yeast in the aroma. Taste is watery apples and yeast, with a slight taste of white wine.

Golden amber body, huge tan head. Aroma is very interesting; woody/roasty with some sweetness as well. Unfortunately, the flavor is extremely watery and bland, some carbonated bite and a lingering malty finish. Too bad.
