bread, cheese, golden, frothy, medium bitterness, average carbonation, pretty good blond beer.

Bottle. Hazy orange body with a small white head. Aroma is hops, yeast, fruit. Flavor is yeast, alcohol, fruit. Light bitter end.

33cl bottle, BB 05/2015. My guess is that all the Cuvée series from this brewery are the same beers. Orangée, col blanc fin/beige. Arôme est fruité rappelant la mandarine et une certaine douceur fruitée. Pointe fleurie avec en retrait ce côté type de grains qui devient plus apparent. Palais est malté et fruité, sucre léger avec une pointe herbacée rappelant la bergamote. A noter aussi, un léger profile levure d’ester allant sur les bananes. Malt reste en retrait allant vers un simple cara pâle. Pas vraiment certain du style escompté ici, comme souvent avec Bouillon, on prend ses chances avec leurs bières.

33cl bottle. Clear golden with small to medium white head. Nose : tart, vanilla, banana, cherry. Little straw. Sip : Low to medium carbonation. Low density with creamy feeling. Sweet with tart flavor. It develops strange baking aroma like taste that stays on tongue. I don’t enjoy tart beers....

Colore dorato, schiuma evanescente. Al naso dolce, con sentori di malto miele, lievito e frutti bianchi. Al palato le noti dolci non riescono a fondersi con l’amaro. Fastidiosa sensazione metallica.

33cl Dumpy brown bottle, best before 2013, poured into a ’Palm Special’ badged tulip in March 2012. Slight haze to the light amber body, carbonisation trails rising to the weak white collar and wispy covering overhead. The nose is sweet and yeasty, honey and maple syrup came to mind. Pine hop easters prevent the smell being sickly along with the yeast presence. I’d swear there is honey in this brew: I did a Belgian honey beer tasting evening last year and this could easily have been in the group, even if it hasn’t got any in it. The taste is strange really, those honey flavours are mixed with a hop dry bitterness and an unpleasant metallic feel that appears towards the end of each sip. Can’t put my finger on it, but something doesn’t sit right: glad I only paid 2.00 Euro for it.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden, small white head. Smell malts, overripe fruits, sweet. Taste the same: malts, lightly overripe fruits and some sweetness. Medium carbo, low to medium body.
