330ml bottle found near Paris. Pours bubbly foggy yellow with almost no head. Aroma of hops and vaguely slight malts. Taste is heavy syrup and coriander, as well as some more hops. Medium to dry finish. Was hoping for more.

33cl bottle, present from my brother, part of a gift pack. Not particulary blonde, quite dark gold in colour, thickish white head. Nice spicy floral nose, malty palate with a touch of sweetness. A good robust style.

bottle. Hazy golden yelllow, large and fluffy head. Spicy and quite sour in a fruitzy way. Hints of gooseberry and currant. Slightly hoppy in the lingering finish.

330ml bottle (Tuulensuu, Tampere, French days 2008) shared by Tbone_ - thanks! Cloudy orange, thin light head. Alcoholic orange sharp aroma. Lively carbonation, harsh acidic nature. Taste matches - sour too. Some soapiness - don’t know if it’s supposed to be this way.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white. Aroma is strawberries, hops and yeast. Flavour is toffee, strawberries and yeast. Quite rubbery notes in the aftertaste too.

Bottled (BB 05/2008)
Orange golden color, small white head. Odd herbs and grassy hops in the nose. Straw and herbs in the flavor, unbalanced brew, some odd leathery and twisted flavors.
