3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
No aroma, yellow with a huge head. The head is dry, the beer is smooth but a little bland. Reminds me of a witbeer just with more alcohol, esp. in the fumes.

Pale golden colour with a good head that lasts just for a minute. Strong fruity aroma (peach and apricot). The flavour is too sweet (honey) with strong fruity traces (apple, orange peels and peach). The finish is not enough bitter. Initially pleasant, this beer is quite unbalanced and becomes quite boring as it warms...

Golden with a nice but rather quickly disappearing head. Has a fruity aroma from grapes. Flavor is fresh and fruity, with a touch of yeast. Alcohol is well hidden.

Sampled March 2007
Pours with a brilliantly clear, gold to almost copper color. It is topped by a frothy, barely one-finger thick, off white colored head. The aroma has an interesting fruitiness to it that is a mix of berries of tropical fruit. It is hard to pinpoint, but perhaps it is best described as a mix of strawberries, guava and ripe kiwi; it is almost more like a fruity bubble gum with its large almost artificial fruitiness. The aroma is certainly quite distinctive, and I really can’t smell much else.
The flavor is quite a bit drier, and much more tart than I would have guessed given the aroma. The artificial fruitiness is still here in the flavor, though it is toned down a bit because of the dryness of the beer. The body of this beer is quite light, especially for a beer of this strength. I would not say it is a quaffing beer though, as the flavors don’t quite lend itself to that. This beer is totally different than I was expecting, much more funky & tart than a random French brewery might suggest.

Bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Some floaters. Aromas of yeast, lemons, and somewhat fruity. Tastes of sweet apples, citrus, light yeast, and I was getting a light cookie doughiness. Light alcohol in the finish.

Bottle, ice cold @ Yeti bar Avoriaz. Darker amber coloured beer with medium carbonation and a short white head. Rather malty to somewhat grainy herby hinted aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is again light bitter malty with some sweet herby touches. OK.

Pours a slightly cloudy pale amber with a thin white head. Smell is spicy and fruity with hints of blueberries and grass. Creamy and well balanced, starts with a smooth sweet vanilla caramel malt flavor, then some fruit and spices. Does a pretty good job of hiding the booze for a beer with subtle flavors.

Moderate amber with a 1 1/2" fluffish head. Slightly peach hop aroma with a lovely malt-dusted bouquet. Malts and soapy hops in flavor with nice, fruity esters. Well balanced.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice spicy, grain aroma. Golden with a smallish head. The malt body is slightly fruity and sweet and a touch thin to be honest especially considering the alcohol level. Silent but deadly!
