Sampled at Zythos 2009. Worst beer of the weekend by a clear mile. Oh wait. the Cara Pils was in fact just slightly worse. Very dark brown, thin off white head. It’s brown sugar, a bit of malt, diluted in water. Quite comically bad.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Consumed at Zythos, St Niklaas, Belgium, 08-03-09 This came courtesy of Ian and Mes who were on a Brouwerij De Troch tasting mission, cheers lads. Pours hazy brown orange. Plenty of unrefined brown sugary aroma kick us off. The taste has a soft carbonated canned drink feel about it, maybe Dr Pepper. There is a little sharpness but the sweetness is too much for me I’m afraid. A5 A4 F5 P3 OV08 2.5

So this was a big surprise from John via Suds, due to a tasting with Shawn. It just happened to work out that way, and I’m glad it did- what a delightful beer! Pours a cloudy orange colour with a consistant battle of sour and sweet- although not forceful- green apple, fig and brown sugar notes throughout. A little bit of tea- something that reminds me of some throat tea that brittany gives me. floral and fruity with fermented fruits. Awesome, and interesting- i would love to try this again! Thanks John!

Bottle from Knightly Spirits. Hazy brown color. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is totally like a sweet tea mixed with a bit of lambic tartness. Solan you described this exactly right.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Binny’s Glen Ellen. Brown color with a sweet and sugary aroma that has some nice woody sourness mixed in. Flavor is very sweet with pineapple, brown sugar, and mild woody-yeastiness. Nice sour/tart finish. Not bad at all - And I have all styles rated! (Except for sakes)
