COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It was created in 1933 by Alfred Dubuisson, grand-father of the present family brewer, Hugues. Its former name was "Bush Beer 24°" (the density in Ballings), but today it is known as Bush Amber. Its amber colour is due to the use of caramel malt in the production process. Its bitter sweet taste provides it with firmness and personality. What's more, it helps digestion.

Alcohol aroma with a bit of spice. 250 ml bottle. Amber colour with a small white head, that faded fast to a thin layer. Medium sweet taste with notes of alcohol with a toffee finish. Big and creamy, lots of alcohol but nice.

This is a really sweet amber that pour light brown with little head. It has a sugary aroma and is just as sweet on the lips but at 12% don’t put to many of these down in one night!

Amberkleurig met een geur van caramel en alcohol. Smaakt zoetig en tamelijk vol, de afdronk is iets meer bitter met weer een zoete nasmaak. Lekker bier maar niks schokkends qua smaak, wel qua alcohol :)

25cl bottle. Amber colour with a small white head, that faded fast to a thin layer. Sweet aroma with banana, caramel, alcohol and a touch of spice. Medium to heavy sweet taste with notes of banana and alcohol with a toffee finish. The body is big, with a full, creamy texture and with a long, malty and alcoholic (not unpleasant) finish. Overall, a rich beer, but not as complex as other Belgian beers at this high strength.

teddybeer (549) - Madrid, SPAIN - DEC 26, 2011
33cl bottle. Orangish colour with frothy white head of good lasting. Aroma is fruity, spicy, bready and moderate malty. Flavour is sweet, spicy, dense on palate, bready, similar as plumbcake. With an alcoholic aftertaste. The final is long, sweet at the beginning and slihtly bittery in the final. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high. Texture is oily.

bottle at cafe medeia, lisbon, portugal. Ligh orange color. High sweetness. Medium carbonation and thin head. Alcohol, caramel, fruit, sugar aroma. Too much alcohol aroma for me.

Het aroma is vers fruit, toffee met kruidige tonen. De smaak is een breed palet van zoet, zuur, bitter en umami, en komt het fijnst naar voren wanneer je halverwege bent. Het beste van Bush is toch wel de afdronk, van verse rode paprika tot klaverhoning, die daverend lang rond blijft circuleren.
