(Bottled, 0.25l) Opaque light yellow color with small head. Very strong aroma with perfume / eau de toilette, lemon and grapefruit. Very much like the Finnish mead, spiced with raisins and lemon! Very citrusy flavor with yeast and aromatic hops. Light-bodied, medium-carbonated palate. It’s hard to rate this beer, as all I could think of drinking this was home-made mead (that many Finns brew for the labour day).

Wonderful fruity aroma. Sweet with notes of apricot, orange peel, and light hops. Cloudy light butterscotch with frothy white lacing head. Medium body with light-medium carbonation. Starts a little sweet, but mostly a steady hop character with hints of fruit. Finish is light acidic and with some bitterness, chalky. After is mild bitter, hoppy, papery with some citrus. Refreshing.

Mild sweet cheese, slightly salty aroma. Cloudy , pale gold , long lasting head . Flavours consisted of old milk , grilled cheese with milky skunked lager tone . Oi !

Buttery, lemon and cheese in the aroma. Pale straw colour with lasting white head. Papery, cardboard lemon cheese. Kind of musty. Faitly still feeling despite high carbonation. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).

(Bottle) Mondial de la Bière 2004. Thin, white head with a cloudy, lemon body. Nose and flavour of extra old cheddar. Bad bad bad.

Very pale hazy ellow with a slight foamy white head. Aroma is of cheese on a summer saled. Rollercoaster of unidentifiable flavours including a lemony citrus, lots of yeast and something very wierd. Bizarre beer, and I am perhaps being a bit more generous than the others who tried this sample will be. Mondial 4T (Capflu).

Cloudy pale orange appearance with a decent white head. Pleasant light wheaty hop aroma. Slightly watery taste with a yeasty wheat back bone. A decent but simple beer. Pleasant.

French Belgian style wheat beer, but nothing like one. The appearance is typical of the style, but the aroma is peppery and liquorice. The flavour is lightly orange, but is dominanted by a dry bitter finish. A very odd example of a wheat beer as it lacks the citric elements that are generally typical.
